or people, u can just move the fan away and closer to the balloon!! that way, the force on it will also be varied..ahahahahah SOO EASYYY

I specifically kept the distance constant as Distance has nothing to do with speed. I thought so at that moment.

no, its more abt the force on the ballooon. think of it this way, when ur closer to the fan, u feel a greater force than when ur far from it.. ;)

how did u measure the wind speed? i dont think it was in our syllabus

Yeah I guess you could use an anemometer, but since its not in our syllabus, I dont know if the examiners expect us to know that, what I did was use a fan with different speeds, use light gates, find the time taken for baloon to move a certain distance, and use d/t to find speed. Because the speed of the fan will be equal to the speed of the balloon , I dont know if this is valid at all, can any1 confirm this method, also. I totally forgot about using a protractor to measure the angle, I said measure the height and the horizontal distance, use tan=adj/opp ,ugh

how r u suppose to draw a light gate?

Um I just wrote, do repeats of the measurements of lengths using a ruler, take averages, keep temperature, pressure (and hence volume of helium constant) by filling it to a set pressure level using a pressure gauge to measure pressure, keep length of string constant, and for safety I had noo idea, I was just like be careful not to get ur fingers cut by the blades of the fan LMAO, I mean whos gonna stick their fingers in the rotating blades of a fan

how r u suppose to draw a light gate?

Um yeah You dont have to draw, you could just as well state it
