Procedures
- gather material
- find the mass of the food using a triple beam balance in grams
- using a displacement method find volume of the food in milimeters
- divide the mass by the volume to get the density in grams/milimeters
- record all data
- place target and launcher 5 meters from each other
- load each food in launcher, fire each food at the target with full pull
- place two spotters near the target to locate the farthest flung food
- measure the splat radius of the farthest flung food
