Popper Lab
HINT: Use these lab report notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1odffGVgxcQ3va-Jboz0WsfVIan_W0G2kQb4sf4Fq1AE/edit?usp=sharing
Introduction
{Hint: Lab question, equations being used, and course domains and how you met them
Our objective was to see how much force was needed to lift something to its maximum height.
We used the equation to find velocity (V 2=V 02❑+2 a( y − y 0)❑, and the equation to find
acceleration
(Fp - Mg = Ma).
Variables
{Hint: Independent, dependent, constants - in complete sentences}
Our independent variable was the height that the popper launched, our dependent variable was
the force needed to lift it, and our constant was the popper itself.
Hypothesis
{Hint: this should relate to the lab question. Be sure to explain WHY you think this.}
We were trying to find out the force required to lift an object to its maximum height
Materials
- 1 Popper
- 2 Tape measures (one on the wall and one to measure the popper)
- Wall
- Human force
- IPhone camera (to record video)
Procedure
{Complete, specific, detailed! I should be able to do exactly what you did. There should be a
least one diagram or picture of your set-up with a picture title and description}

In conclusion, we tried to find out the force needed to lift a popper to its maximum height. Our
average acceleration was 150 m/s, our average height jumped was 0.7 meters, and our average
force was 0.75N. Our data partially supports our conclusion since the position that the popper
was in could have messed up how our data was calculated.
