Physics blog

This a picture of a free fall lab that my team and I conducted. The purpose of this was to figure out what factors affect the rate in which an object falls. In our experiment, we decided to use mass as a factor to compare the rates of two objects with different masses. We, as a group, came up with the conclusion that not only does mass affect the rate in which an object drops, the more an object increases in mass, the faster it falls. The reason being is that air is not neglected, which makes the two objects fall at different rates. If air was neglected, the two object would hit a surface simultaneously.
