Introduction:

You will perform a lab to observe the acceleration of a falling object, which is called the acceleration due to gravity, or g. In this investigation you will design an experiment to compare the vertical accelerations of two objects with different masses.

B (i) Research Question

B (ii) Hypothesis

B(iii)

Identify the variables and state how you will manipulate them.
