Yesterday, Keara, Olivia, and I dropped a Ping Pong Ball and A Golf Ball from The heights Of 1 meter, 2 Meters, and 3 meters to try and find The velocity Of the Ping pong Ball when Dropped from These heights. The times that It took For the Ping pong Ball are as follows: 1 Meter: 0.4 seconds, 2 meters: 0.6 Seconds, 3 Meters: 0.76 seconds. The times for the Golf ball are as follows: 1 Meter: 0.5 seconds, 2 Meters: 0.56 seconds, 3 meters: 0.73 Seconds. I thought originally that the ball velocity would increase from the heights Because the Higher the ball was when dropped, the more it would be affected by the force of gravity ( Free fall of 9.8 m/s/s). The velocities Of the golf Ball are as follows: 1 meter: 2.0, 2 meters: 3.3, 3 meters: 4.3. The velocities of The ping pong Ball Are as Follows: 1 meter: 2.5, 2 meters: 3.3, 3 meters: 3.7. Graphs of the information and charts follow:
We were also told to find the forces of the Two. Golf ball: 447, The force of the ping Pong ball was: 24.5. The ball with more Mass created more force And the ball with a tiny mass created next to nothing force-wise. To conclude, the Velocity did change based on Height, and that just proves my hypothesis correct.
