too late for anything. thanks for your help

we were not given anything, it was up to us to do everything

thanks so much for your help its due tomorrow and think i will not include the derivation then yeah i have to compare it to a standard result!

yeah i do know the second law the best fit line does go through the origin cause when the height is zero, there won't be a force. the comparing with the standard part is the part I am having difficultly with... "Technically the force should depend on the square-root of the height ... but your...

Is this what you would have expected? i.e. do you normally expect objects to hit the ground harder when they fall from higher up?- yes this is what i usually expect In what way does it increase?- with my errors bars taken into account, the force is directly proportional to the height at which...

What do you want me to answer?

well i tried and i don't get it so i came here thanks though

oh forget it

is acceleration constant?

is it constant? is there an equation relating height and force?

well i did not record the time when it fell so i won't be able to do speed and the graph i plotted-- as height increases, the force increases i dropped a mass of 104 grams

it records max force

basically the experiment was dropping a constant mass at different heights and seeing if the force exerted on the Force Plate increases or decreases as height increased. it increased and now i need an accepted value to compare my data to

what information do you need?

Homework Statement I did an experiment investigating what effect height has on force and now i need a theoretical value to compare it to Homework Equations f=ma but i don't think acceleration is constant here The Attempt at a Solution f=ma f=0.104x9.8 f=1.01 i got 49 N with...
