Part one: The Lab

You will be helping Galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. Before you conduct your experiment, you need to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the experiment. The hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur.
Record your hypothesis here: (if two objects fall at the same height then the object with the greatest mass will fall to the ground first. )
Record the results from step one of the experiment (dropping the objects in the air):
First trial: (the feather and the large ball the large ball fell first.)
Second trial: (the two balls the large one and the small one fell at the same time)
Third trial: (the feather and the small ball the small ball fell first)

Record the results from step two of the experiment (dropping the objects in a vacuum):
First trial: (the two balls the large one and the small one they fell at the same time.)
Second trial :( the feather and the large ball the ball fell first)
Third trial: (the feather and the small ball the ball fell first.)

Did the experiment support your hypothesis? Using the data from your experiment, describe why you believe your hypothesis was either proven or disproven. (My experiment didn’t support my hypothesis using the data from my experiment my data was disproven because when the ball fell they dropped at the same time.)
What forces were acting on the objects dropped in the air? What force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum? (the force that was acting on the objects that dropped in the air was friction. The force that was acting on the object when it dropped in the vacuum was friction also.)

Part two: Comparing Forces
For this section please use the following forces: gravity, electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force

    Think about different materials that are used to make sports balls. Why don’t we use just one type of material for tennis balls, baseballs, and golf balls? Since each ball must behave differently in play, the material making up each one must be different, too. In this experiment, you will characterize how different materials behave when they are dropped.…

    He first pondered the Aristotelian idea that if one object, weighing one pound and another ten pounds, the latter would fall ten times faster. Quite frankly, the idea ‘struck Galileo as preposterous’ (19). This may have marked Galileo’s first suspected doubt of Aristotelian ways but certainly was not his last. Much to Galileo’s curiosity, he conducted the experiment atop the Leaning Tower by dropping two balls, one weighing in at one hundred pounds and another at one pound. With the Pisan philosophy department on hand to observe the outcome, Galileo suspected they would hit the ground at the same time, however, the larger ball beat the smaller by a mere two inches. This difference was a sigh of relief for Pisan philosophers who were willing to overlook ninety-nine braccia (arm lengths) in order to continue to follow the ‘wisdom of Aristotle’ (20) and therefore remain consistent with doctrine. This experiment would not be Galileo’s last attempt to test Aristotelian doctrine, but did mark the beginning of a new type of experimental science.…
