Acknowledgments

I would like to thank the following people for their special help in making this project possible.  My teacher, Ms. Passarelli, kept me on track and accommodated me with school time and various materials needed to complete my project.  My brother Patrick was generous in giving his time to help in my experiments and my brother William was always there to assist me with his computer skills to complete my observations and teaching his graphing techniques.  Lastly, my parents spent countless hours encouraging me to keep doing my best and reading my work.  I especially thank my Dad for assisting me with the building of the apparatus.
