A student drops several objects of the same size into a bucket of water from a height of 2 meters. She ranks the splash from 1-4, with 1 being the smallest splash and 4 being the largest splash. Which object most likely has the greatest mass?
1 answer
The object that most likely has the greatest mass is the one that creates the largest splash, which would be ranked as a 4. The larger the splash, the more force is required to create it, indicating a greater mass of the object being dropped. Therefore, the object ranked as a 4 would have the greatest mass.
