If we increase the mass of the balls dropped at the same height, then the time to fall will decrease, because gravity will have a larger effect on the larger mass. The hypothesis is incorrect because what was calculated from the experiment was not proven by the hypothesis. For example, a basketball weighs 518.2 grams took an average of 0.811 seconds to drop, versus the kickball that weighs 423.4 grams that took an average of 0.888 to drop. If the hypothesis was true, then the time it took for the kickball to drop would be 1.22 times greater than the basketballs time. That is because if you look at the mass of the balls and their times it took them to drop, the mass and the time have to be proportional to one another. Looking at the baseball and the wiffleball, the average time it took for the baseball to drop was 0.884 seconds, so that means that the average time it should have taken the wiffleball to drop is 6.94 times greater than of the baseball’s. The baseball is 144.3 grams and the wiffleball is 20.8 grams and their masses should be proportional with the time just like the basketball’s and kickball’s. At the same time, the golf ball is 43.7 grams versus the ping-pong ball that is 2 grams, which means that their time to drop should not be that close. Every experiment has errors. In this experiment the biggest error is human error. The people that recorded the time by using the stopwatch could have started or stopped at different times every time and the response could

Thrust: Water and Mass Times Acceleration Essay

Thrust is a Must! The Study of Increasing a Water Rocket's Performance by Increasing the Density of Water (m dot = D * V * A ) Mass flow rate = density times velocity times area of nozzle. This equation explain how to find the mass flow rate( m dot) which is the thrust that is exerted out of the water rocket for (F= (mv)dot ). By changing either one of the variables the outcome (m dot) will change, this project focuses on changing the density (D) of this project in order to have an increased…

The “CNN Effect” of Mass Media on Humanitarian Aid: A Case Study of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Syria Monica Farrell SUNY New Paltz N02492332@hawkmail.newpaltz.edu 3/20/14 I. Introduction Often times, certain humanitarian issues receive more media attention than others. The media’s role in providing information to citizens has been amplified due to globalization. Recently, issues of politics and specifically foreign policy have been focused on largely by mass media (Robinson 1999,…

Essay on Power, Hungry

Problem: We are trying to find the best efficiency of a motor pulling a mass up and a generator letting it fall. We are in charge of the volts and the amount of mass it will lift up or drop down Hypothesis: When using a motor what the motor basically does is that it take the electric energy and turns it ino mechanical energy, and the generator does the same but vice versa it takes the mechanincal energy and turns it into electrical energy.It does that using a certain amount of input energy for…

Hydrate Research Paper

molecule after it has been removed from the water molecule. The test tube must be cooled before finding its mass because a hot substance has a lower density than a cool substance, therefore, when the formula is used, M=DV, the hotter substance will have a lower mass, and the cool substance will have a higher mass. In addition, a hot test tube could damage the scale, as it is electronic. The mass of the anhydrous salt must be measured immediately on cooling because the anhydrous salt will want to immediately…

Essay about Inertial Balance

separate from gravitational forces, as well as, to use inertia to measure the mass of the given objects. This lab was also to insure that the inertia mass of the objects is the same as the gravitational masses. IN this lab we will answer the question “what is the unknown mass?”Inertia is the resistance to change in its state of motion; an example could be a moving car. There are a couple of different ways of measuring mass, such as the triple beam balance. Although it is quick and pretty simple it…

Newton: Newton's Laws of Motion and Air Track Essay

Introduction: We verified the Newton’s second law of motion, ∑i Fi = ma, by first holding total mass m constant and confirm the relationship between the other two variable (external force F and acceleration a), and then hold external force F constant while I verify the relationship between total mass m and acceleration a, with a set of gliders on a frictionless air track. Procedure: While we were holding total mass m constant, the relationship between external force F and acceleration a should be direct…
