V. Conclusion
In this paper we have presented data confirming that hydrophobic coatings allow certain objects in tep water to travel more quickly thorugh the water than without a coating. Furthermore, hydrophilic coatings on specific objects allow them to pass through tap water slightly faster than without. Our results show that the average time it took for the ball with the hydrophobic coating traveled at an averge of about 6 inches per second. The ball with the hydrophilic coating traveles at a slower pace, moving at an average of about 5 inches per second and the ball without a coating traveled at an average of about 4.8 inches per second.
With this information, hydrophobic coating could be use to make water travel more effective as well as mahing instances where water interacts with surfaces more energy efficient.
