Question

Students analyze their data from a gravity experiment. They find that objects fall at a greater speed from a greater height than from a lower height. What can they conclude?(1 point)
Responses

The longer an object falls, the more gravity increases its speed.

The longer an object falls, the greater its mass.

Answer 1

The longer an object falls, the more gravity increases its speed.

Explanation: Gravity accelerates objects, so the longer they fall the more time they have to gain speed. Mass doesn't change with fall height, and mismeasurement or a design flaw isn't required to explain this result.
