Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1Q
Objects of different mass were used to see whether the acceleration due to gravity depends on the mass of a falling object. In other words, does a heavier object fall faster than a lighter object? What do your experimental results show?

A group sets out to answer the research question "are mass and acceleration related?" They conduct trials with three different masses and plan to use apply Holmes t' analysis to their data. What feedback would improve their experimental design? (hint: consider how many datasets a t' value can distinguish between) Select all that may apply.
Test more than three masses.
Run fewer trials.
Only test two masses.
A t' isn't useful here.
A freely falling marble took 0.45 seconds to travel the distance of 1.00 m. What is the experimental value of the acceleration due to gravity obtained using these data?
FOR PROJECTILE OF MOTION,
Assume that you measure the time of flight as 1.3 seconds. If the horizontal distance travelled until hitting the platform is 25.7cm and the height of the launch muzzle from the platform is 10.1cm, calculate the experimental value of initial speed in units of m/s. Use g=9.81 m/s2 if it is needed. Give your answer in 2 decimals.
