Variables Involved in Crushing a Can

Below is a video of your instructor crushing a can (this will also be demonstrated in class) and a video demonstration of the can crush simulation you will be using later in this lesson. Watch both videos and then answer the questions below.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

List every variable you observed that could be manipulated in the can crush demonstration and/or the simulation.

What measurement appeared in the simulation immediately after the can crushed? Explain what you believe this measurement means. (Review the the last 10 seconds in the demonstration video.)

Notes

These notes will appear on every page in this lesson so feel free to put anything here you'd like to keep track of.
