Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

1. how does grip affect frisbee performance, 2. how does angular momentum help flight, 3. how does rotation effect frisbee flight, 4. how does a frisbee's flight path affect its range, 5. how can conditions harm performance, 6. will grip affect its range, 7. will grip affect accuracy, 8. how does the morrison slope affect aerodynamics, 9. what are the ridges on top used for, 10. why does a frisbee need to spin.

I already have done all my research please i just need straight answers help me i'm stressed

Hello petey1,

I note that you say you have done your research, but the questions you ask are all about how a Frisbee works. A simple web search for "Frisbee aerodynamics" turns up several references that answer your questions. For example, http://wings.avkids.com/Book/Sports/ins ... ee-01.html. I even found a Master's degree thesis on the subject: http://morleyfielddgc.files.wordpress.c ... thesis.pdf.

Here on Science Buddies you can find project ideas by searching https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... deas.shtml.

You can get far more information with these searches than I can give you. You need to search and research.

Good luck, WW

Yes i looked at the website and gained knowledge but i still need you if you would be so kind to to answer the questions it is neccesary for my report so if anyone gets a chance i'm begging you answer my question thanks.

All of your questions are ones that can't be answered without running experiments. If you need to answer these questions for your project, then you need to come up with multiple experiments, each of which can attempt to answer one of the questions. All of the how does independent something affect dependent variable * are probably inter-related in some way. In other words multiple of your independent things will affect multiple dependent variables and each dependent variable will probably be affected by more than one of your independent variables.

No i have done expeirments i already know the answers but my teacher makes me do this interview anyway so please just answer it you dont have to answer the exact question you could twist it a bit.

Hi:

I''m sorry that your teacher has asked you to ask these interview questions, but answering these type of questions is not something that Science Buddies does. Sorry.

Keith

what if i edit my questions could you answer then

petey1,

Interview questions are expected to be general such as "What training is required to be an aeronautical engineer?" or "Can you refer me to a good text on Frisbee aerodynamics?"

Another problem is that I don't think Science Buddies has an expert on Frisbee aerodynamics that can answer the detailed questions you ask. I certainly don't even know what the Morrison slope is. Have you tried to find someone from a Frisbee club to answer for you? If you can submit more general questions, we'll try to answer them.

Best regards, WW
