ok, so i am doing a power point for science class and i have to present my research for my questionit's lame but it's what is the effect of surface on the speed it takes for a marble to roll down a declinei now lamebut im using aluminum foil and wax paperand in my powerpoint i have to write about what they are i finished aluminum but can't figure out waxi looked all over the internetcan you give me a breaf summary of how wax paper is made and what it is? thanks!! and don't worry ill rephrase iti don't plagerize! :)
Wax paper is a type of wrapping paper that has a thin coating of wax on itThis paper was used for wrapping moist items so that the moisture of the item did not get onto anything elseIt was the material used in homes 50 or more years ago before plastic wrap was availableIt is still available in storesThe wax is going to slow down the steel ball because of the relative stickiness of the waxIf the was is very cold, the effect will be less, and as it warms up, the effect will increaseThe only way to time this is with a detector that begins when the ball is released and ends when it passes the stop detector, what ever that might beA stop watch and your reaction time would be as good as anything else, barring more sophisticated equipment.
