= __//**Reasearch**//__ = This project falls under the branch of physics. __Physics are the__ __study of physical forces and qualities. __ __The scientific study of matter, energy, force, and motion, and the way they relate to each other. __   __[] __ One of the main aspects of this project is if the counter force weight [5 pounds] will make the tennis ball go further than if the counter force weight was 3 pounds

one of the key terms was to figure out what the fulcrum was.the fulcrum is also known as. it is an anatomical structure that acts as a hinge or a point of support it is also know as the pivot point.another is the counter force wieght is also known as the weight that sends the projectile flying. the projectile is A TENNIS BALL

__HYPOTHESIS__ Note: I might exchange the wood pole for a mop pole because it already has a hole in it. The fulcrum is the pivot point to the swing arm and it is often called the axel. The force is what sends the ball flying. And that can be known as the counter-force. The counter force can be anything heavy ex. Basketball or a 5 pound rock or batteries.

//**__PROBLEM__**// Will the tennis ball go farther if the counter force is heavier? My hypothesis is that the counter- force will make the tennis ball go further . =__// ** Materials: ** //__=  · Wood. Not too thick, but not too thin. String. Has to be fairly strong.  · Wood rod. Has to be very strong.
