Objective
The purpose is to test whether the surface texture of the ground affects the distance an object can roll.
Hypothesis
If an object rolls over (type of material), then it will (describe the prediction of distance it will travel).
Materials
For this lab, I used the following items:
Procedure
Short summary of what I did:
I experienced the following errors while doing my experiment:
Test (independent) variable (What was different about my test groups?):
Outcome (dependent) variable (What was I measuring?):
Data
Record the distance traveled for each of the trials for both floor surfaces in the table below.
Distance Object Traveled
Floor Surface Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3
Data Analysis
Calculate the average distance traveled for each floor surface. Use the following guidelines for calculating averages, and show your work.
Floor Covering Calculation of the Average Average Distance Traveled
Example (trial 1 measurement + trial 2 measurement + trial 3 measurement) / 3 (number of trials) Your answer from the calculation, showing the average distance the ball rolled for that floor covering.
Conclusion
Answer the following questions in complete sentences.
Describe in your own words what friction is.
Describe how friction affected the results of your investigation.
Does an object travel farther on a smooth or slippery surface or on a rough surface? Why?
Propose another experiment that could be used to demonstrate that friction is a contact force.

When applying kirchhoff's rules, one of the essential steps is to mark each resistor with plus and minus signs to label how the electric potential changes from one end of the resistor to the other. the circuit in the drawing contains four resistors, each marked with the associated plus and minus signs. however, one resistor is marked incorrectly. which one is it?
