Title of Project

Relationship Between the Initial Tilted Angle and Travelled Distance of a Cube

Abstract

When the objects are dropped, it bounces with a random direction and distance because of the initial tilted angle. This research will investigate the relationship between the initial tilted angle and the first bouncing distance by conducting an experiment of dropping wooden cubes with different initial angles and measuring their dispositions. Based on the measurements, this research will analyze the data by plotting the graphs. This research at first expected to observe the results which are that as the angle between the cube and the ground gets larger, the distance it will bounce will become larger, due to its larger instantaneous torque of the cube. The result after experiments shows that the distance has increased as the tilted angle increased to 30° but has decreased from 30° to 45°. This research may academically contribute to the fundamental studies or applied studies for polyhedral object’s falling/bounding behaviors.
