A friend asked this question and it got me thinking.. and I can't seem to think of any solution.
Out of curiosity, he asked me.. is it possible to find the mass of a free falling object without knowing the force it hits the ground? (assuming we know the displacement s=0.91m, v= vms-1) That object is also said to rebound to a height of 0.61m.
So I know mass doesn't affect motion of free falling object.. but is it possible to calculate mass? I tried whatever I know and m is always canceled out.
