Ihave to write a two page paper and i'm stuck on how i would set this up? it's in my intro to physics course.

think about a simple physics experiment like firing a cannonball, as mentioned in chapter 1 of your textbook. now, imagine that you have devised your own length measurement system based on the span of your forearm. apply the scientific method to ask the question, โ€œhow far will the cannonball fly? โ€ and use your measurement system to record the distance.

part of the scientific method is the testing of your experiment by other physicists like you. include the following in your analysis:

which difficulties would arise for them in confirming or denying the validity of your results?
what are the control variables in your experiment?
which other measurements would you need to devise to monitor them?

Mass (kg) force (n) 5 25 10 50 15 75 20 100 a student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. he placed four different masses on a table and pulled them using a spring scale. the table shows the different masses used in the experiment and the force required to pull each mass. the student concluded that more force was required to pull heavier objects. what comment would you make regarding his conclusion? a) no clear relation can be observed between mass and force from the data. b) there is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table. c) gravity should have been taken into account while performing the experiment. d) there is an inverse proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.
