    What is predicted to happen in this experiment is when an angle of elevation of a ramp is changed on one side this will affect the amount of momentum a ball possess before collision and after collision. The ball that travels down a ramp with a steeper angle, will have a greater velocity therefore produce more momentum because it has a greater velocity compared to the ball travelling down a ramp not as steep. This will then affect the amount of kinetic energy a ball possess after collision. The ball

    that there are helpful and harmful attributes to elevation. The argument is whether these effects are enough to cause an unfair advantage and are they dangerous enough to warrant a rule to be made about it. There are many things that come into question when addressing the affects elevation has on athletes such as: the effects of air resistance, air density, low oxygen levels, and a weaker gravitational pull (Ward-Smith). When people think of elevation most people think of in the mountains or thousands

    measurements relied on looking through a straw with human naked eye, there is a likelihood that the results are inaccurate due to possible human error/random error. Therefore, assumptions had to be made about the angles of elevation. If the measurements of the angles of elevation were incorrect, it would affect the results, and the determined height of the tree would be inaccurate. Although using trigonometry can time consuming and efficient, the determined height may not be as accurate as the height
