THE BUNGY

EXPERIENCE

Barbie and Friends go for a Bungy Jump – the analysis of

the event

Real Life Imitated by Models

The Equipment

From the front desk Collect 10 rubber bands A tape measure

Loop 3 bands together, then attach them to Barbie’s ankles

Measuring the Fall Distance

For 3 bands attached, measure the distance of the maximum fall

Repeat the measurement 3 times

Now do it again for 4, 5, 6, 7 rubber bands

Record your results

Measuring the Fall Distance

Measuring the Fall Distance

Only 40 minutes to measure

The time will disappear quickly

The AnalysisYou will need to Complete your average column Plot a graph for average distance & number of

rubber bands Show the calculations for the linear model

Calculate the averages (x,y) value for the Upper and Lower Section

Calculate the gradient Calculate the y-axis intercept Write the equation of the line of best fit (2 mean

method) Draw the line of best fit on the graph

From the LINEAR MODEL you shall predict the number of bands
