It would compress more! I assume velocity is also a relevant parameter here.

I don't know that information off the top of my head, but I'm sure I could find it. My guess is that mass, volume, and projected area (surface are?) may be other relevant parameters when considering this physical system. Do I also need information about atmospheric density/viscosity? Thanks!

Ok. How would I apply this theorem to the work that I'm doing? I tried looking it up, and it is very general. Thank you again for your help!

Thank you for your response; this is a high school project for second-year IB Physics. I have pretty extensive experience with calculus, but have never used a differential equation in the context of physics. Would the Buckingham pi theorem be beyond my skill set? Thanks! Danny

Thank you for your help! Unfortunately, we were only given two days in class to collect data, and we aren't allowed to continue outside of class, so I'm stuck with what I have already. I will try using your suggestion, and see if it helps my situation. Thanks! Danny

Hello all! This is my first post on the forum. As some background, this issue pertains to the IB Physics Internal Assessment that I am in the process of writing. Thanks in advance for your help! Homework Statement My research question is: How does the drop height of a consistent-size clay ball...
