    The document outlines an experiment to determine what factors affect the speed at which dominoes fall. It involves setting up dominoes in a straight line at different distances and timing how long it takes for all to fall. It was found that dominoes set closer together fell faster than those spaced further apart, as the smaller distance allowed the falling effect to travel quicker down the line.

    Question: What factors affect the speed at which the dominoes will fall? Hypothesis:

    Procedure:
    1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Set up the dominoes in a straight line equal distance apart. Measure the total length and record Apply a force to a domino on one end and time how long it takes for them all to fall. Do 3 trials for each distance Repeat with a smaller distance and then with a larger distance between dominoes. Record observations.

    Observations:

    Total Length Trial


    1 2 3
    Average time Average Speed ______ m/s ______ m/s ______ m/s

    A - ________cm
    ______ sec ______ sec ______ sec

    B - ________cm
    ______ sec ______ sec ______ sec

    C - ________cm
    ______ sec ______ sec ______ sec

    Conclusion: 1. Graph the average for each trial on the back. 2. Determine the AVERAGE SPEED by dividing distance by time.

    3. How did the spacing affect the dominoes?

    Answer Big 3 (Use the back if needed.)
