    Why Does a Lighter Ball Create a Deeper Crater in Physics Experiments?

    I conducted the experiment as follows: I dropped 0.005kg, 0.010kg and a 0.020kg balls from 0.25m and kept increasing the drop height by 0.25m after every reading. I found that the lighter ball the made a deeper crater that those of a greater mass. This somewhat puzzled me, so to investigate...

    Why Does a Lighter Ball Create a Deeper Crater in Physics Experiments?

    Hi, I am in my second year at Sixth Form College and I have chosen to do Crater Formation for my second year physics coursework. I took some readings and found that a lighter ball makes a deeper crater than a ball of the same diameter but greater mass. I don't know why this is. I would expect...
