Have your packages of televisions been moving around the cargo ship while being shipped to the US? Have many of your televisions been broken while on the cargo ship? Have you lost thousands of dollars when the televisions you were shipping cracked, making them unusable? My team of scientists and I have come up with a solution for this, that will save you time, money, and labor. Through our research, we have seen that per cargo ship trip, you have lost 10% average amount of money. Not only is our solution very cost-effective, but also very easy to do.
When given the task to stabilize the television shipments on the cargo ship, Sanvi Bhardwaj, Grace Ledford, Grace Keaveney and myself, Catherine Schuessler, prevailed. We have spent a long time sufficiently learning about friction, mass, Newton’s Laws of Motion, and several other topics. We completely understand all of these topics, and were completely qualified to complete this investigation. We are also very experienced. Since September 2015, we have completed several successful experiments, such as compound cutouts, an ice lab, a mixture lab, and a solutions and solubility lab, to name a few. As you can see, we are very competent and experienced in the field of science, and are…show more content… First, we attached a block to a piece of string, and the string to a paper cup. Then, we placed the block on the materials (one at a time), and let the cup hang over the side of the cup. Then, we added metal materials, such as nails, paper clips, and binder clips, to the cup. The materials we used were carpet, felt, tape, and shelf liner. Also, as a control, we completed the investigation with no material underneath. We completed three trials of each material to improve the validity of our experiment. Our results showed that one of the materials could hold a much larger amount of the supplies than the others, without moving the
