Surface, Drag, and Mass ExperimentEquipment* 6 Cup Cake Stands* Ruler Ruler* Stopwatch* Blue Tack Method======We started by weighing a single cup stand cake , being (0.2 g.) We dropped it from a distance of 1.84 m from the ground. We then recorded the time it took to fall. Then we screwed it on and dropped it the same distance to see if the surface had an effect on the weather. After the first experiment we also began to study the mass by adding 0.2 g of blue color each time on another 5 cup cake supports, repeating the screwed operation. correct and not messed up procedure. Correct test --------- This will be a correct test since it will be at the same distance (1.84 m) for each occasion and will be in the same room in conditions with no more or less wind. The blue turn will be exactly 0.2 g each time it is added to the previous weight. Results ------- Screwed cake holder Mass (g) Time (s) 0,20.720.40.560.60.410.80.391.00.331.20.27Non - Screwed cake holderMass (g)Time (s)0.21.470.41.050.61.030.80 .841.00.761.20.66Conclusion By doing this experiment I learned that the surface plays an important role on an object falling from a distance, even if the mass of the object is the same. The greater the surface of the object, the greater the air resistance, this is because the greater the surface, the greater the number of particles that the cupcake will fall
