Stonebridge, Thanks for your reply. I looked up drag force and understand what you mean there. Are you saying that since F=ma and the mass of a plastic golf ball is low so it is likely to deccelerate faster than the golf ball. I believe what you are saying about drag force is that...

9th Grade Into to Physics

I discussed with my students that if force remains constant and mass decreases then acceleration increases (a=F/m). I also explained that if force remains constant and mass increases, acceleration decreases. I know that there are a number of variables that play into this next situation and I...
