Science-Speeding Past School

 Aim - See how many cars are speeding past school

Method-

1. Measure distance... power pole 🠞 powerpole= 50m

2. Time how long it takes a car to travel this distance 

- "Flag" person indicates when the car passes the pole

  - "timer" person starts when a car passed the flag pole and stops when the car passes their pole

   - "writer" person writes downtimes

3. Collect 10 times

4. Calculate speed in m/s 🠞 convert to km/hr

5. Are there any speeders?

Speed	Car 1	Car 2	Car 3	Car 4	Car 5	Car 6	Car 7	Car 8	Car 9	Car 10	Average
Time(s)	4.42	5.12	3.36	2.48	4.60	3.48	4.04	4.63	5.55	8.88	4.65
m/s	11.31	9.76	14.88	20.16	10.86	14.36	12.37	10.79	9.00	5.63	10.75
Km-hr	40.72	35.15	53.57	72.58	39.13	51.72	44.55	38.87	32.43	20.27	38.70

Energy

 Definition: Stored in an object, the ability to move something.

Different kinds of energy 

Light energy: the energy of electromagnetic waves. Used in microwaves, x-rays and visible light

Heat energy: Cause by the movement of particles. Found in all hot objects

Sound energy: Energy produced by vibrating objects examples are speech or music 

Chemical potential energy. Energy stored in the bonds between particle. found in substances like petrol and food.

Gravitational potential energy: Energy stored in objects due to their height above the ground.

Kinetic energy: Energy due to the motion of an object Eg. moving cars, running, swimming.  

Elastic potential energy: Energy stored in stretched or squashed objects. Examples are stored springs.
