Crash tests

Our winner in the categories "Student's design choice", and "Fastest car" is:

Sturdy design and custom wheels enable high speed. Many design details are invisible on video, but interior and egghead driver were decorated.

Our winner in the category "Softest landing" is:

Notice the crumble zone designed to absorb energy at impact.

Crashtest

Images from the crashtest activity can be seen in the panel, right. These include before and after images. No eggs were hurt during the filming of this episode.

Results from muffincups

Here are the result of the six experiments combined.

It seems the terminal velocity of the cups depends on how many are bunched together.

Falling muffin cups

Dorte, Sanne and Fitore dropping 1 muffin cup.

Andrea, Pernille and Thilde dropping 2 muffin cups.

Manja, Cecilie and Marita dropping 3 muffin cups.

Amalie, Kristoffer and Jeppe dropping 4 muffin cups.

Jacob and Hans dropping 5 muffin cups.

Kristina, Melina and Malene dropping 6 muffin cups.

Falling ball

Students have calculated gravitational acceleration to 10.2 m/s^2 by using this video. Usual value is 9.82 m/s^2.

Welcome to 1t mechanics at Rosborg

In this blog we will be posting our results of the different activities in the Rosborg-ACIC project involving Ms. Doaa Ahmed and Mr Jacob Jalving.

1t will provide videos and comments on experiments and activities performed in class.
