Question

Mr. Harden's class decides to perform an experiment to determine how long it takes different objects to hit the floor when dropped from a desk. The class dropped three balls from a desk, one weighing 2 pounds, one weighing 4 pounds, and one weighing six pounds. It took them all the same amount of time to hit the floor. After evaluating these results, you predict that a 10 pound ball will take

A) more time to hit the floor.
B) less time to hit the floor.
C) about the same amount of time to hit the floor.
D) an unknown amount of time before hitting the floor.

Answer 2

Option C :- about the same amount of time to hit the floor

Because Mass has no effect on how fast things travel in free fall situations . If you look at your kinematics equations none of them consider mass as a variable.

however mass does have effect on energy.
