- I left my pencil in the related room . I wonder how far the distance if from the shop
- Well, I have a pen and paper here in my bag we can time how long it takes you to get the pencil use the equation "d= vt + 1/2 a t" to find the distance
- Wow that dropped so quickly!The ball fell in 3 seconds that means the cliff is 14.7 m high. Right?
- Yeah! You my friend are fast first hand
- That ball had some serious velocity. Is there any way we can find out just how fast?
- Well I am no Einstein but I have a solution. Using what we know we can use "v2= v1 + a t"
- How do you know all these things?
- Well I payed attention in school. But really it's just the laws of physics. Gravity is constant so with a little digging we can find our answers to a lot of our questions
- But, what about weight? Doesn't that play a role?
- Well yes of course but not in the way you think. Mass doesn't affect how fast gravity pulls it down, but rather how much air resistance affects it
- Oh so weight doesn't afffect gravity but air resistance does? So we weren't accounting for air resistance then?
- That's the basics! If the air is removed from the equation everything falls the same. And no calculating air resistance is a complicated process so right now focus on the basics
