Experiments to investigate free-falling objects and projectile motions By Sinthiya Punnialingam Aim: The aim of my experiment is to obtain results/ data and see whether a pattern can be distinguished or whether my data agrees with a theory or law. I'm going to try to undergo two investigations using the same apparatus, and look at the outcome of my results and see whether a firm conclusion can be made. For the two investigations, I'm going to look at free-falling objects and projectile motions: Investigation 1: Isaac Newton firstly discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head. He then discovered that every object has a mass and that two masses attract each other. This attraction has a gravitational field strength, Newton wanted to calculate the gravitational field strength of the earth. Newton discovered that when a force is applied to an object, it will cause the object to accelerate, therefore the object will change its velocity....
