Aim:
Our aim for this project is to find out how the temperature of paintballs will affect the precison and speed of the shot.
Apparatus:
Tippmann 98 paintball gun
150 paintballs
Water bath
Ice
Clamp
72cm target
Light Gate
Blanket
Method:
We will divide the paintballs into three equal groups: one-third will be cooled down in a water bath, one-third will be kept at room temperature and one-third will be slightly heated, also in a water bath.
The paintball gun will be clamped down, in order to avoid human error when shooting the gun and aiming at the middle of the target to measure the precision of each shot.
Another clamp also be used to hold the light gate in order to measure the speed of each ball.
We will start by shooting with the room temperature ball, which we predict will be the most accurate. Then we will immediately after shoot using the cool ball, and then the heated one. Once all three balls are shot we will observe which ball landed closest to the middle of the target. But as we are shooting, the light gate will be turned on and a student will be noting down the speed of all the balls. We will then be able to know which ball has the highest speed.
We will then repeat the shots several times to make sure that our results are accurate.
