Overview

Objectives/Goals For our project we wanted to find out what metal would go the fastest when proppelled by a magnetic induction coil launcher. Methods/Materials Method: set up coil launcher, set up computer,hook everything up (Photogate & other instruments), And take data. Results Out of the tree metals that we tested, (copper,steel,and aluminum)we found that if we set up the lab by volume (every projectile has the same volume)that aluminum would go the fastest. If we set up the lab by wieght, then copper would go the fastest. Conclusions/Discussion Our conclusion is that steel went the slowest,aluminum went faster, and copper went the fastest
