Re: Paintball ballistics project hypothesis
Hello XxDerpislandxX, thank you for your question and welcome to science buddies. I'm assuming you are doing this project:
https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ml#summary
A hypothesis is a statement of what you think is going to be the result of your testing. It is usually based on the questions attempting to be answered. Then through experiment, you prove or disprove that hypothesis. The main question in this project concerns the difference between calculated and actual values of range and velocity of a paintball fired. Do you think the two will match or will there be significant difference. If you think different, do you think predicted (calculated) will be greater or smaller than actual performance?
Think about these and some of the questions in the project and see if you can't come up with a hypothesis. I didn't give you a direct answer because this is a learning environment, post back some hypothesis statements and we can help you refine it. For guidance on writing hypothesis statements, check out the science buddies project guide at:
