The speed of a falling object is not directly affected by mass. Air resistance is the deciding factor in the time is takes for an object to reach the ground. Two objects of different mass will accelerate at the same rate. This was discovered by Galileo. Newton's second law states that F=ma. This means that if both accelerate at the same rate, then the force acting on the objects must be different, and the greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity that is acting upon the object.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

Law of refraction

Explanation:

An experiment to analyze the refraction of light in water can easily be performed with a laser pointer and protractor.

We throw the fishing rod line into the water, place the protractor at the point where the line touches the water and use the direction of the line for the direction of the laser pointer (on), the laser is visible by the reflection on the particles in the air.

The vertical line is called Normal and all angles must be measured with respect to this reference in optics.

Having these angles and the refractive index of water we can use the law of refraction

         n₁ sin θ₁  = n₂ sin θ₂

         θ₂ = sin^{-1} ( \frac{n_1}{n_2} \ sin \ \theta_1 )

we can repeat several times to analyze several different input points (different angles) and to decrease the errors in the measurements.

the refractive index of air is n1 = 1 and n2= 1.33  (water)
