Summary of Digital Lab: Velocity: Free Fall
Summary
The goal of the Velocity: Free Fall virtual lab is to allow students to investigate how height and mass impact speed and time. Students conduct experiments to understand the relationship between a ball’s mass, its final speed and its acceleration when it is dropped from different heights.
Driving Questions
- Determine how the height of the drop affects the final speed of the ball.
- Determine how the height of the drop affects the time to drop.
- Determine how the mass of the ball affects the time to drop.
