Literature of Review

My project is which paper plate can hold the candle that's 452 grams the longest. I am going to measure this by time, and timing each plate the time it takes until the plates falls.

Dixie paper plate Resin is used to make this paper plate. resin is; "Resins are valued for their chemical properties and associated uses, such as the production of varnishes, adhesives and food glazing agents”. Resin are from ancient trees. I also learned that resin is used to make rock climbing walls, and it is also used to make this paper plate. I think that this is a durable plate. Also learned that this plate is made 2% of petroleum-base plastic. 'A **plastic** material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable". Plastic is partially natural. ( //Wikipedia// ) These plates have an outer covering of wax. Also the material that was used to make these plates are 90% of renewable resources. Renewable resources are sources that can renewed and replaces, and it will never run out (Example: water. Non-example: batteries). ( Grainger )

Nice! Paper plate From the Walgreens website I learned that these plates are sturdy and durable with any weight put on the plates. Also these types of plates are soak proof, meaning its resistant to liquids seeping through the plates. The material the plate is made out of is cut resistant and the material is called polystyrene, which is the outer covering of the plate. These all are helpful to the plate of winning this experiment. I learned that these plates can be heated because they are microwavable, and won’t melt. These plates can stay in the natural form, and no chemical changes in the heat. ( Nice! Ultra Strong Plates- Walgreens )

Great Value paper plate f rom the Walmart website I learned that the plates are heavy duty, and a good chance of holding the candle the longest. One way that I think this is because it is soak resistant, which the material will not let any liquids leak through the bottom. Also this plate is cut resistance and that just means when you are cutting an object you won’t tear or cut the plate. Also this plate is not flimsy and eliminates the hassles of heavy weight on flimsy plates, which this plate is not. ( // Walmart.com // )

Science Textbook From this book I learned that if you hold something in one hand and you have something of less mass in your other hand, the object that has more mass/ weight will hit the ground first when you drop them at the same time. But, if you put the lesser mass on top of the object that weighs more then they will fall together- at the same time. This is because when any object moves through any type of property (solid, liquid, and/or gas) there is a force that opposes (face, fight, prevent) the motion of a moving object. This is a Drag Force. when an object movies in the air, the molecules in the air bump into it. This is called a Drag Force also, which causes the object to slow down when its falling. When the object that has lesser mass is on top of the greater mass object they fall together because the more weight object is blocking the object that's on top of it. That makes it the equal amount of air molecules traveled up, making the object fall together. ( Richard, Moyer )
