Hang-Time Poster
Annie Alcorn and Imanuel Brandon
Introduction:
We used mathematics and
computational thinking to create
equations and use them to
calculate our hang times. We used
problem solving when we had
trouble getting the tape to stick
onto the wall.
Equation:
Y=Yo+Yot+1/2at^2
We chose this equation because it
uses displacement, acceleration,
and time.
Hypothesis:
The objective was to figure out if
we could accurately measure and
calculate our hang times.
Materials: Tape, meter sticks,
phones, paper, and a wall.

Conclusion:
We calculated our hang time as 0.56
and 0.48 seconds. These numbers
are not as accurate as they could’ve
been because the tape kept falling
