    1) The experiment aimed to show that objects of different masses fall at the same rate due to having the same acceleration from gravity. 2) Tennis balls and table tennis balls were dropped from a balcony and their fall times were measured and found to have small differences, likely due to measurement errors. 3) While the results were not perfectly accurate, the experiment helped demonstrate the principle of equal acceleration during free fall, regardless of an object's mass.

    Introduction
    It is surprising that when throwing a
    tennis ball and table tennis ball down
    from the high place, it falls at the same
    time. According to free-fall acceleration, a
    free-falling object is an object that is
    falling under the influence of gravity
    which has an acceleration of 9.8m/s/s
    (Physics classroom, 2019). Acceleration  is
    the rate of change of velocity of an object.
    Both objects have the same acceleration
    and have the same initial conditions.
    Objective
    The purpose of this experiment is to know
    that the mass of an object doesn’t involve
    with the falling time. It depends on the
    acceleration of an object. As a result, the
    objects will drop at the same time
    because of the same acceleration and
    initial velocity.
    Material
    1). 3 stopwatches
    2). 6 balls (3 tennis ball + 3 table tennis ball)
    3). Measuring tape
    4). Pen
    5). Worksheet (for taking notes)
    Set up
    Procedure
    1). Assign roles to each member3 timers
    (Timer A, B, C) at 4th floor1 ball collector
    at 2nd floor
    2). Timer C measure the height from the
    balcony to the ground with the help of a
    ball collector
    3). Timer B notes down the height
    4). Timer A gives a signal to all timers and
    drops the ball (3 timers measure time
    separately 
    5). Timer B notes down all the
    measurement
    6). Repeat for trail #2 and #3 then move
    on to the next object with the same
    procedure

    Analysis
    Before we doing this experiment, we have learned
    that the time of the two falling objects with a
    different mass will be the same time if the air
    resistance is negligible. Based on the data, the
    average time of the heavy object is 1.56s, but the
    average time of the light of object is 1.53s. We also
    know that the average distance for both objects is
    different as well as the percent difference. From the
    calculation, we can conclude that the difference of
    distance and percent difference is caused by the
    inaccurate measurement because it’s hard to
    record the time when the ball hits the ground from
    3 people and the height of the ball in each time is
    different too. We can analyze that the results of the
    experiment is not accurate based on free-fall theory
    and cannot proved that the object will fall at the
    same time.
    Conclusion
    In conclusion, we learned what free-fall
    acceleration is practically. We were able
    to understand the activity by using the
    knowledge from learning in class. We
    knew that the free fall acceleration of an
    object is always equal to 9.8 m/s/s
    downward and the objects will fall at the
    same time since they both have the same
    acceleration and initial velocity unless it
    has different surface area.
    Recommendation

    If we were to do this experiment again, we


    would manage time more wisely so that
    we can work without wasting time.
