Kicker 3000

CSEF · 2023 Physics & Astronomy Fourth Award

Russell Olivia · 6

Overview

Our project is where we test different types of sports balls at different P.S.I. We tested this by using a homemade apparatus that we call the kicking machine. The kicking machine works in a simple way, by just lifting the wooden leg attached to the base by two pieces of wood. After this release the leg, after placing the ball on the tee at the front most bottom piece. We used a measuring tape extended on the ground to the left side of our apparatus in feet then broken down into inches. The ball that went the farthest was the volleyball much to our surprise, because we had thought that the kickball would go the farthest.
