Mass of ball (grams) Time to hit ground (seconds)
10 1.02
15 1.01
26 1.62
A student is investigating gravity and falling objects. She drops three balls and times how long it takes each ball to hit the ground. What is the most likely source of error?(1 point)Responses
A)She used balls that are different sizes.
B) She did not measure the mass after the balls hit the ground
C) She dropped the balls from different heights.
D) She did not measure the circumference of the balls

The most likely source of error in this investigation is:
C) She dropped the balls from different heights.
This option directly affects the time it takes for the balls to hit the ground. If the heights from which the balls were dropped were not the same, it would lead to inconsistent time readings, making it difficult to accurately assess the effect of mass on falling time under gravity.
