Your friend conducted an experiment in which they drop four objects from 5 meters above the
ground, and record their position every 0.1 seconds as they fall.
One object was an eight pound medicine ball, one was a golf ball, one was a frisbee, and one was a
feather.

b. Describe how would this data change, If this student had an access to the vacuum chamer and
performed this test in a vacuum?
c. The next experiment was conducted in the normal conditions (in the air). Predict whether a
feather or a golf ball would land first

Answer :

a ) The slowest and fastest object are object 2 and object 1 respectively

b ) In a vacuum chamber all objects will fall at the same time

c ) In normal conditions, a golf ball would land first.

a ) From the data taken from the table,

Object 1 lands after 1.1 s

Object 2 lands after 1.8 s

Object 3 lands after 1.3 s

Object 4 lands after 1.1 s

Eventhough object 1 and 4 land at same time, at 1 s mark object 4 has more height than object 1. So object 1 would land first

b ) If conducted in a vacuum chamber, there will be no air resistance,. So all the objects will fall at the same time.

c ) In normal conditions, there will be air resistance. So air resistance will be larger in the object with larger surface area. Feather has a larger surface area than a golf ball. So feather will fall slower than the golf ball.

Therefore,

a ) The slowest and fastest object are object 2 and object 1 respectively

b ) In a vacuum chamber all objects will fall at the same time

c ) In normal conditions, a golf ball would land first.
