Mass VS Shell Structure - Why there is a difference scientif
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2007 4:02 pm
My daughter has put together her science fair project, but forgot to think about the fact that she needs to have an explanation of the "why's". She has used a wooden hockey stick(mass) & a hollow (shell) one & is measuring the distance a hollow ball or solid puck will go using both sticks using the same force. What we haven't been able to figure out is how to explain scientifically why this is. I have searched online for her & found nothing, but perhaps I am not looking for the right words, etc.
Could you possibly help us or point in right direction. This is due in 2 days & all else is done, but she forgot this aspect.
Thanks so much!
