Force = mass X acceleration. Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s/s regardless of height or mass. This means a single object will hit the ground with the same force regardless of the height it is dropped from. If this is true, I normally drop a pumpkin from different heights during this unit. why does dropping the pumpkin stay together when dropped from one meter but break apart when dropped from a height of 5 meters?

An experiment is designed to test the relationship between the initial height of a basketball before it is dropped to the height of its rebound bounce. the height of the rebound bounce is measured using a scale positioned behind the ball. in the above experiment, which condition would not be controlled? a). the starting height of the ballb). the surface the ball bounces on c). the type of ball d). the method to measure the rebound height of the ball

Which of the choices below is one of the primary gases found in the atmosphere? a. helium b. carbon dioxide c. nitrogen d. argon

Awater-filled u-tube manometer is used to measure the pressure inside a tank that contains air. the water level in the u-tube on the side that connects to the tank is 5 ft above the base of the tank. the water level in the other side of the u-tube (which is open to the atmosphere) is 2 ft above the base. determine the pressure within the tank.
