Statapult Workshop 1
Statapult Workshop 1
Hit a target that is six feet away from the base of the Statapult and
Maximize the height of the ball when it is two feet away from the
base of the Statapult. (Place the meter stick two feet away from
the base of the Statapult and measure the height of the ball as it
passes the meter stick.)
Determine the settings of the factors that will enable you to attain these
objectives.
Instructions:
3. The team should identify the factors that are important in achieving the
objectives of the experiment. There is no limit as to the number of
factors to be considered. Record these factors and their respective
settings.
4. Measure and record the responses in terms of the distance and height of
the ball. The Data Form, shown in Figure 1, will aid in your
experimentation.
5. Determine the set-up of the Statapult that will meet the objectives.
6. Use the following the information to compute for the Total Savings
using the team’s recommended set-up.
