Challenge Team Interim Report

Team Number: 018 School Name: Clovis High School Area of Science: Chemistry/Physics Project Title: Collision of N body objects

Problem Definition:

With our recent change of projects we are somewhat behind on where normal teams should be at the moment. We got this project on the date 12/13 so please bear with us. Our new project problem definition is we are looking to see the pull of attraction or repulsion using simple body objects such as protons, electrons, or neutrons. Later if there is such a time then we will look at alpha particles and there effects of attraction/repulsion. The charges will be studied as the principle source for such energy.

Problem Solution:

To do this, we found many equations and used will test the equations in the program. We figure out the charges of different particles and how they would react to different particles.

Progress to Date:

The progress to date is slim to null. We have gotten several equations ranging from F=A*M to more complex physics problems. The programming for our project is non existant as the person fluent in computer programming exited the project for extreme reasons beyond our control. Mrs. Zamie has offered services for programming so hopefully it will even out.

Expected Result:

The expected results are as the farther they are the slower they move towards one another but as the particles move together a greater velocity is achieved. They will as figured move faster and faster until the two particles collide with one another.
