The purpose of our experiment was to see if the data points from the experiment would match the
solution to the quadratic function: h(t ) ( ho
70d 2 2
t )
...
As the height of the water in a water
tower increases, the weight of the water increases
...
How we were going to do this was that we would
take a bucket with a hole in the bottom, and simulate how a water tower would work
...
How the experiment was conducted was first, we [Thomas (my partner) and I] measured the
diameters of the bucket and the hole, then filled the bucket by putting our finger in the hole
...
The
water flowed out, and we timed until ten seconds had passed, then plugged up the hole again
...
This process repeated until the bucket was empty, at 160 seconds (2
minutes and 40 seconds)
...
Once the averages of the two trials were calculated, we refilled the bucket, but this time to 70 millimeters
(7 centimeters)
...
The process repeated until the bucket was empty, this time at 130 seconds (2 min 10
sec)
...
The averages of the trials
were calculated, and then the bucket was refilled, this time at 30 millimeters (3 centimeters)
...
The height was noted, and the process
repeated until the bucket was empty, at 90 seconds (1 min 30 sec)
...

This graph shows the parabola of the equation, and then the data points collected in the lab
...
The more water in the bucket means that more water will be pushed out in the 10 second time period

The data points plot a sort of slope, where less and less water leaves the
bucket as time increases

Once again, the data
points are above the line of the parabola, meaning that perhaps an error occurred in the lab
...
For example, we could change the size of
the hole, or use a thicker liquid and get a completely different outcome
...
The connection made in this lab is that as the level of water decreases, so does the pressure on the hole,
and therefore less and less water comes out in each ten second period
...
As the height of the
water in a water tower increases, the weight of the water increases
...
The experiment proved the concept
