Table that shows the mass of the balls and the depth of the crater:

This is the video analysis of the free fall movement of the ball done with Logger Pro by María Gallego and Coral Conde 10B.

Free fall Session 4: CORAL CONDE

Today we have been recording some videos in order to analyse them in logger pro, we also looked at some of the videos so that we could do it correctly.

Free fall session 3: CORAL

Today we have had class with Mr. Canning (as our teacher wasn't here). I continued with my experiment and I have finished it. I have changed a bit the way I was doing it although the variable is still the mass of the ball. However, now I have 5 new different balls with different masses and I did each of them 5 times. 

For next class, I will record the experiment as I didn't do that during this class. I threw the ball from a distance of 50 cms from the container and I used gel to calculate the depth of the ball.

BALLS:

Ball 1: 5 grams

Ball 2: 15 grams

Ball 3: 30 grams

Ball 4: 50 grams

Ball 5: 80 grams

RESULTS:

Mass of the ball (grams)    Depth of the ball in the gel     Average of the depth
