Question

A student wants to know if the effect of gravity is the same on all objects. She follows these steps:

Drop a 5-gram ball, a 10-gram ball, and a 12-gram ball from a height of 10 meters.
Record how long it takes for each object to hit the ground.
?
Which step should be next?

(1 point)

Choose new balls.

Measure the mass of the balls again.

Drop the balls from a different height.

Perform a second trial.

Answer 1

Perform a second trial.

Repeat the drops to confirm the results and reduce random/error measurement effects before changing variables like height or objects.
