Jumping Bug investigation. GCSE Coursework.

Physics Coursework - Bug Up Investigation. The aim of this experiment is to investigate how the mass of a bug-up toy affects the height at which it jumps to, and how the gravitational potential energy produced by the toy varies with its changing mass. Basic Procedure. To investigate this, the height at which the bug-up jumps to needs to be recorded against the increasing mass of the toy. This data can then be used to …

…factors influence the results obtained from the experiment. Although there are many ways this investigation can be extended and modified, I feel that I have satisfied the criteria for this project considering the equipment available, and the limited amount of time in which to complete the experiment. I feel that I have made use of all the resources and equipment at my disposal, and hope that this is reflected in the content of this project.
