In the information handout that we're given about the experiment, it encourages us to utilize resources available (i.e. book for the course, internet, etc.), and my TA suggested the tutoring center on campus for help. I'd go there now, but I'm not on campus at the moment, and I'd like to avoid...

Thanks! I'm sorry, I don't think I understand what you're saying. Why don't different masses affect the force? I used F=KE/D, where D is the distance traveled after impact, or, in my case, how high the polymer ball bounced initially after impacting the ground. To calculate KE, I used...

Hey all, I'm currently working on a chemistry lab report analyzing different ratios of reagents in polymers and their abilities to bounce. These different samples were dropped from a constant height and their bounces were recorded. I've calculated the force each struck the ground with. My...
