Math Angle

For our angle, we chose 35 Degrees. It will be close enough to the ground to avoid the possible wind resistance and far enough away from the ground to avoid bouncing. It should make the largest possible distance without bouncing.

Science

1. Obtain a list of materials:
2 tennis ball cans with tops
12 inch strip of duct tape
1 pair of scissors


2. When we condtructed our cannon, we paid more attention to our angle instead of the "double barreled combustion chamber concept". So we cut a hole in the side of one tennis ball can at an angle, andstuch the other tennis ball can in there at the correct angle. That was the basis of our cannon.

Pre-Blast hypothesis

I thought that the blast would at least make it out of the cannon or explode or something interesting. My team and I put a lot of work into the cannon and putting the optimal angle in there, so we thought it would go.

Post-Blast hypothesis

Well unfortunately Gay-Lussac's law prevented our cannon from firing. Gay-Lussac's law states that temperature afftects pressure directly, so no temperature = no pressure. so better luck to the next year freshman

Overture of 1812

The Overture of 1812 had several peaceful moments which could either of been the peaceful pockets of the battlefield where there is no fighting or it could have been the time of victory. The cannons may have signified the triumph of the battle and the war that everyone went through
