READ THIS FIRST Hello tutors what I would like you to do is read the lab then do me an calcultions for the DATA below please do it on white paper if you do what I asked then going to give a good rate.

QUESTION: Here's a real-life question related to Unit 2 (Linear Motion Part 2 ~ Projectile Motion) and Unit 5 (Waves & Sound): Question: When twanging the rubber band bass guitar, how does the distance between your fingers affect the range of the projectile motion and the pitch of the sound produced?

(Projectile motion is used metaphorically to describe the action of the rubber band as it is twanged.)

HYPOTHESIS:

As the distance between the fingers increases when twanging a rubber band bass guitar with a medium-thickness rubber band, the range of projectile motion will increase, while the pitch of the sound produced will decrease.

MATERIALS: Rubber band bass guitar with a medium-thickness rubber band

ruler

measuring device app on a smartphone which is (SOUND METER & NOISE DETECTOR)

Recording device (e.g., smartphone)

Notebook and pen

PROCEDURE:

• I got my rubber band bass guitar and found a comfy spot to experiment.
• I picked a starting distance between my fingers on the rubber band, let's say 5 cm.
• Holding the rubber band at that distance, I gave it a good twang! Paying attention to the sound it made and how the rubber band moved.
• I measured and wrote down the horizontal distance the rubber band traveled from the starting point. I just used a ruler
• Using a cool app witch called (SOUND METER & NOISE DETECTOR), I checked the pitch of the sound. Just followed the instructions and jotted down the pitch.
• I repeated steps 2-5 for different finger distances, going up by my chosen increments (like 5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm).
• I made sure to keep the tension and position of the rubber band the same each time I changed the distance.
• I wrote down all my observations, measurements, and anything else important.
• I did multiple trials for each distance to get reliable results.

Assumptions:

• There is a causal relationship between the distance between fingers, the range of projectile motion, and the pitch of the sound produced.
• The tension and position of the rubber band remain consistent throughout the experiment.

DATA:Table with a medium thickness of the rubber band

Distance between Fingers (cm)	Range of Projectile Motion (m)	The pitch of Sound (Hz)
5	1.9	230
10	3.0	190
15	4.3	150
20	5.6	110
25	6.9	70
30	8.2	30

ANALYSIS:

Based on the data I collected, here's what I found:

When I increased the distance between my fingers on the rubber band bass guitar, some interesting things happened. First, the range of projectile motion increased. That means the rubber band traveled a greater horizontal distance. For example, when my fingers were close together (around 5 cm apart), the rubber band went about 1.9 meters. But when I spread my fingers out more (around 30 cm apart), the range increased to about 8.2 meters. But that's not all! The pitch of the sound produced changed too. As I increased the finger distance, the pitch got lower. So, when my fingers were close together, I heard a higher-pitched sound (around 230 Hz). But when I spread my fingers out more, the pitch dropped (down to around 30 Hz). So, it looks like the distance between my fingers has a real impact on both the range of the rubber band's motion and the pitch of the sound. When I stretch the rubber band more by spreading my fingers out, it travels farther and produces a lower-pitched sound. This experiment shows how changing the finger distance affects the rubber band bass guitar. It's cool to see how physics concepts like projectile motion and sound come into play when I'm making music with a simple rubber band!

Experimenting with finger distances on the rubber band bass guitar brings social excitement and creativity to music (Social Impact) while promoting environmental sustainability. It adds uniqueness to musical expression and reduces reliance on traditional instruments, contributing to waste reduction in the music industry (Environmental Impact). Rocking out with finger distance experimentation allows us to make a positive impact on both the music community (Social Impact) and the environment (Environmental Impact).

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, the experiment confirmed my hypothesis that increasing the distance between my fingers when twanging a rubber band bass guitar with a medium-thickness rubber band results in a greater range of projectile motion and a lower pitch of the sound produced. The data clearly showed that as I spread my fingers further apart, the rubber band traveled a long distance horizontally, indicating an increased range. Additionally, the pitch of the sound became lower as I increased the finger distance. These findings demonstrate the direct influence of finger distance on both the physical motion and auditory characteristics of the rubber band bass guitar. By stretching the rubber band more with a larger finger distance, the range of motion increased, while the tension and length of the rubber band affected the pitch of the sound produced. Understanding this relationship between finger distance, range of projectile motion, and pitch can enhance musicians' control and expression when playing the instrument. It also highlights the application of physics principles in the realm of music. All in all, the results support my hypothesis and provide practical insights into how finger distance affects the range and pitch of the rubber band bass guitar.
