| Overview of Lab: | ||||

|
The experiment was conducted at Grenadier Pond in High Park. My friends,
Siavosh Taherifard, Ryan Nagy, and Andrew Izmailov, volunteered to help
me conduct my experiment.
We first shovelled the snow in order to make a path of "fresh" ice. This path of 150 m was where the experiment took place. The purpose of this experiment was to see the relationship between the velocity of the puck and the coefficient of puck on ice. The puck would travel along this path and we would take the time it took for the puck to slide from one point to the other. We did the same experiment on another day when the temperature of the ice was warmer. This way, we would see how temperature affects the coefficient of ice when compared to the results of the previous lab. Next, we decided to prove whether momentum was concerved or not in the event of a hockey player shooting the puck. It was reasonable for us-due to the lack of professional equipment--to have the shooter skate at a slow speed and shoot the puck with a constant, light swing. Again, the velocities of the skater and the puck (within a certain distance) were taken. N.B. : This experiment may contain significant errors due to the simple equipment used. Also, most of the data collected were taken from human judgement (timing the distance for the puck to travel). |
