Conclusion

In the end my hypothesis concluded correct. The Beluga Whales fin pushed or displaced water more efficiently then the Great White Sharks tale did. The reason why this happened was that the Beluga Wales fin has a larger and flatter surface area then the Great White Sharks fin. The Beluga Whales fin pushed the water more efficiently because their tale fin is placed horizontally and goes up and down. Forcing the water to be pushed causes the Beluga Whales body to be pushed further. The Great White Shark tale is placed vertical to the water and does not have a flat horizontal surface area. Their tale fin moves from side to side which doesn’t give them enough force to be pushed as much as the Beluga Whales fin does. I figure this out by not only doing my experiment, but observing what our ideas about creatures that can swim underwater. First we created the swim fins for swimmers to be able to swim faster. Then we created gadgets that help us breathe under water and so on. If I was to do this project again I would defiantly would have looked at the small details, like that Beluga Whales sometimes weigh more then Great White Sharks. So even though their tales have a flatter surface area then the Great White Sharks do. They might not have enough force to be pushed faster then the Great White Shark because of the difference of their weight. In conclusion I think that doing a project about the efficiency of the Beluga Whales fin and the Great White Sharks fin was an interesting topic. But research was a little bit difficult. So next time I will choose a topic that has more information related to the subject at hand. In the end I had a lot of fun trying to figure this riddle out.
