Free Fall: Nattanon Veerakul

1) The document describes an experiment to study free fall by dropping volleyballs and heavy balls from a height of 14.7 meters. 2) The experiment aimed to determine if all objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass and to calculate gravitational acceleration. 3) The results found that the average time for heavy balls to fall was 1.92 seconds with a distance of 18.55 meters, while light balls averaged 1.79 seconds and 16.082 meters, demonstrating that gravitational acceleration is the same for objects of different mass.

FREE FALL

Introduction
Having gravity in the Earth causes to pull everything as
objects downward; meanwhile in some other planets have less
gravity than Earth. Gravity would lead to free fall, a motion from
the influence of gravity without any air resistance. The objects
falling in Earth will have the acceleration at the approximate rate
at 10m/s*s. Regarding to free falling, there is a included couple of
topics which is the distance and the velocity. Velocity will identify
the traveling speed of the dropped object from the higher level and
simultaneously, distance will cover the acceleration of the object
starting from the initial point. Therefore, we have come up with an
experiment by dropping a piece of solid from the fourth floor of the
school. The objects are two types of different weights of balls,
volleyball and a heavy ball. During dropping balls, there will be
three recorders who record time. Additionally, one of our
teammates will responsible for collecting after dropping from the
higher levels. But before recording, we will measure the height in
meters to identify
objective
1. To ensure that every object will be
falling to the ground at the same time.
2. To determine the gravitional
acceration and the function in each
time.
FREE FALL
materials/setup
-futsal ball

-measuring tape

-phone ( record time )

-volley ball
FREE FALL

procedure
1. assign roles for each menber:
= 3 timer at the 4 floor( with extra tas each)
- Timer A: Drop ball
- Timer B: Take note
- Timer C: Measure with a measuring tape
= 1 ball collector
2. Timers go to 4 floor with
= 6 ball ( 3 futsal + 3 volley balls)
= Measuring tape
= 3 stopewatches (phone)
= Worksheet
= Pen/pencil
3. Timer C use measuring tape to measure the height grom the balcony to
the ground with assistance from ball collector on the ground floor
4. Timer B not e down the measured height
5. All timers get ready to record the data
6. Timer A drop the ball and at the same time, give a signal to start time
recording until the ball hit the ground.(All timers measure the time
separately )
7. Timer B write down all timers measurement in the workdsheet
8. Repeat for trail #2 and #3, Then move on to next object(3 more trials)
9. Ball collector bring all the balls back to the lab
FREE FALL

Data and reslts/ calculation

A. Height of 4 floor balcony using heavy object


Measured height = 14.7 meter

show your calculation for distance and % distance


FREE FALL

B. Height of 4 floor Balcony using light object


Measured height = 14.7 meter

show your calculation for distance and % distance


FREE FALL

C. Instantaneous Velocity from both objects

show your calculation for distance and % distance


FREE FALL

Analysis of Result
- The average of the heavy ball is around 1.92 and the distance is
around 18.55 meter.
- The average of the light ball is around 1.79 and the the distance is
around 16.082 meter.

Conclustion
It is no matter what mass the balls are because they still fall at
the same time. As you can see in our experiment, the average of
two types of balls are almost equal because of gravity in the Earth.
The result of the heavy balls are around 1.92 seconds and light
balls are around 1.79 seconds.
