2005 SMART Projects


Coefficient of Restitution the Bouncing Ball
Teachers: Lennon Safe and Carol Obler
The coefficient of restitution is a number which indicates how much kinetic energy (energy of motion) remains after a collision of two objects. This project measures the coefficient of restitution and determines how elastic the object is.

Key Parts : Ultrasonic Sensor DC Motor

Vehicle of Revolution
Teachers: Henry Penna, Michael Fishenfeld, and Douraine Stewart

The objective of the project is to build a preprogrammed model that will roll or drive a certain distance. The student determines the number of revolutions that the car will make to get to the target and student will enter that prediction into the model vehicles display screen and then observe moving vehicle.
