Deconstruction Ideas
Parachute
Landing platform
Sports Ball
Fishtank
Carboard Box
Tennis Ball
Golf Ball
String would be needed for the parachute.
A sponge that could be placed on the bottom of the fish tank to reduce impact.
Vertical Landing
The shape of the parachute, while measuring the change in velocity.
Vertical Landing is not conducive within this task because it mainly works with rockets.
There are no powered rotors within the object used for the practical.
Area of the parachute
Distance between the parachute and the object.
The placement of the parachute on the object.
The Material for the parachute.
Plastic Sheet
This can provide numerical data
Within the school, fish tanks are used to keep fish and cannot be used for experiments.
The idea of having a cardboard as a landing platform was refuted because the floor was suggested as something that could be the landing platform.
Table Tennis Ball
This tennis ball was heavy for the plastic parachute.
The Golf Ball was too small to be attached to the string.
This ball was the lightest and because of the material it was made of, the strings could be attached to the Golf Ball.
If the tennis ball was dropped onto the floor, it would start bouncing because of the pressure within it, also affecting our results.
Another reason would be the smooth surface of the Golf Ball as it would roll off and not land.
