2005 SMART ProjectsCoefficient of Restitution the

Bouncing Ball

Teachers: Lennon Safe and Carol Obler

The coefficient of restitution is a number which indicates how much kinetic energy (energy of motion) remains after a collision of two objects. This project measures the coefficient of restitution and determines how elastic the object is.

Vehicle of Revolution

The objective of the project is to build a preprogrammed model that will roll ordrive a certain distance. The student determines the number of revolutions thatthe car will make to get to the target and student will enter that prediction into themodel vehicle’s display screen and then observe moving vehicle.
