Gravity Lab

Problem: Which ball will fall the fastest due to gravity?

Hypothesis : I think that the lightest ball will fall faster due to Newton's law what must come up must go down.

Experiment:

Materials: Golf balls, ping pong balls, basketballs, marbles, bouncy balls, timer , meter stick

Variables

Cv: The timer, and the person who bounces it

Iv: The different balls

DV: Speed

Procedure

1. Gather all materials
2. Label the balls A,B,C,D,and E
3. Drop the ball at hip height
4. Record height and time of the ball
5. Then figure out the speed by using the equation distance/time
6. Repeat steps 3-5 two times
7. Record all data
8. Clean all materials




Observation:

trials 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2
speed 1.5 2.2 3 1.6 1.8 2.1 1 1.1 4.3 1.2


Conclusion: My conclusion was correct the lightest ball fell faster due to gravity. What I think I could do better would be is that I could make sure had the correct height on all of them when I measured how high they went.

Whats Important to me?

The most important thing in my life is my friends and family. My friends help me through all my problems and they care about you. When your sad they go up to you and ask you are you okay? My friends are like my roots and I'm the tree that they hold in place. My friends are there for me through the good and the bad. I have a family that takes care of me, feeds me, and gives me a bed to sleep and every night and protects if any harm comes to me. My Dad gets up and goes to work to bring home food and lets me be able to go ice skating. My Mom picks me up from school and takes me skating everyday she also takes care of me when I'm sick or injured. My brother puts up with my mom taking him skating and he sits in the Pettit sometimes for one to two hours each day. My Aunt comes when I am on skating trips in Michigan to feed are three dogs and a hamster. Our family is also my roots they keep me where I need to be and to be protected from all evil harm.

October Already

Wow the first month of school goes by so quickly.October is my favorite month out of all the months in the year well not my most favorite maybe my 3rd favorite. It is cooling down quite fast this year last year it was still in the 80's this it has gone down to 60's and 70's which is way cooler than it was last year.Homecoming has passed at least I only have to wait one more year till my first ever Homecoming.Last weekend I had a skating competiton in Beaver Dam there was only one other person and me. I did the best program I could have ever done and they still gave me last my coach said it was not about the placement it was about how well I did. I was happy with the way I skated so I guess as long as I did the best I could it did not matter . I looked up the whole time I gave the judges a big smile and I had worked really hard to prepare for the competiton.My coach told my mom after this competetion that she would be putting a axel in my program which my mom was about to have a heart attack when she heard the news. Well at least on the way home was fun we stopped at a Kwik Pantry and my mom and me bought sandwhiches and my mom bought a soda for her and a bag of Potato skins Sour Cream and Cheese. I got a chocolate milk and Tootsie Pop Drops which is a tootsie pop without the stick which I was sucking on for the whole car ride home which takes about a hour and twenty minutes it took me a a hour forty to finish them by then my mouth was bloody raw and very sore which it still is. Well that is it for all
