EXPERIMENT 2
AIM
To
investigate the relationship between length of feather with distance travelled
by the shuttlecock.
HYPOTHESIS
The
longer the feather the further it travels.
APPARATUS
Different length of feather,
Shuttlecock shooter, Measuring Tape, Coloured - powder
VARIABLES
MANIPULATED VARIABLE : Length of feather
RESPONDING VARIABLE : Distance it travelled
CONSTANT VARIABLE : Type of
shuttlecock
PROCEDURES
1. A shuttlecock shooter was set up.
2. Shuttlecock was cut to 3 different lengths.
a. 55mm
b. 65mm
c. 75mm
3. The shuttlecock was dip into coloured-powder.
4. 55mm shuttlecock was shot three times in a close room to
avoid wind factor.
5. The distance travelled by the shuttlecock was measured
by using measuring tape.
6. The procedures 1 until 5 was repeated with 65mm and 75mm
7. Data was recorded.

DISCUSSION
We found that
the feather with 55mm length travels 1.32m, 65mm feather travels 1.39m and 75mm
feather travels 1.44m.This proved the hypothesis that the longer the feather
the further it travels.
Conclusion
The
longer the feather the further it travels
