Gravity Drop Experiment
Directions:
How to turn it in
One at a time, drop 5-10 objects from desk-height. Record your observations about each object. Think about:
Record your gravity drop and a video explaining your observations. Show Ms. Hamby your video next week..
Write a paper report about the objects you dropped. Include details about what you observed.
- Which force(s) are acting on the object?
- What is the direction of the force?
- How does the object's physical properties (size, shape, material, etc.) effect it's drop?
