The Relationship Between The Distance and Time of A Falling Object A Science Fair Project by Devin Dove

Distance and
Time of a
By yours truly,Devin Dove
Purpose
To find out how far an object can fall and how much time it takes to do
it.And finally,find their relationship between each other and find out
what they have in common.Or what tells them apart from each
other.Because really they dont wanna date each other.
Hypothesis
If an object can move at the same time and distance or moves at a
different length and time,then what is their relationships with each
other and how to find them in true freefall?
Background research
Freefall occurs where for only one force acting on a object is
gravity.Because of earths gravitational acceleration on earth makes
velocity constant,the distance an object falls is proportionally to the
time spent falling.So when the object are in true freefall,they will both
eventually reach their terminal velocity.And when you drop your wallet
and your cup of coffee at the same time,the possibilities of the thought
of it snapping to your mind is very unlikely.And you gonna wanna pay
for another cup of coffee with your soaked money to have that energy
at your boring job.And so the relationship is found.

the meter stick and stop the timer soon as it hits the surface.

Conclusion
My conclusion states that even though two objects in freefall do reach
their terminal velocity like it could,there are different time limits and the
distance between the ground and object could change at anytime
given.So,my theory or hypothesis is very much so correct!But,my
question is...Is there more to the relationship and can I use more
heavier and lighter objects?
