PHYSICS COURSEWORK 2003: Investigating How Height Affects Time Taken for A Falling Object to Reach Ground Level. Introduction: In this investigation, how height will affect the time taken for a steel ball bearing to reach the ground will be investigated. It is was Isaac Newton that first discovered gravity and wrote laws defining it. His Second Law of Motion states that the Resultant Force on an object (F) is equal to the Mass of the body (m) times its acceleration (a), or . The weight (W) of a body is the force of gravity acting on it, which gives it acceleration (g) if it is falling freely close to the earth's surface. If the body was to have a mass (m) Newton's 2nd Law of Motion could calculate its weight. Given that and Newton's Law becomes . In April of 2003, in a method similar to that, which will be conducted in this investigation, the acceleration...
