Firstly, control the cupcake holder to drop on the floor straight to the motion detector and it will record the position and time the cupcake holder takes to fall for three trials. Add more mass to the cupcake holder and measure the mass of it without changing its shapes and areas, do the same thing as a cupcake holder that do not added. Do this with three different trials for five different mass, and average the slope of the data. <br />Figure 3: Showing the cupcake is falling down to the motion detector.<br />Data Collection:<br />Table 1: The table shows the mass and the terminal velocityMass(±0.01g)TrialVelocity(±0.04 m/s)Average Velocity (±0.04 m/s)0.5111.611.6621.6831.690.8612.352.3322.3132.321.2412.542.5422.5432.561.5512.812.8422.9032.811.8213.123.1523.1333.212.0213.313.3123.2933.32<br />Table SEQ Table ARABIC 1: The table indicates the average of the different velocity that is measured of each sample of the three trails.

However, the graph shows that there are some errors because there is rarely a point that is close enough to the linear line.<br />Conclusion and Evaluation: <br />From the graph, the equation states that V² = 5.1997m+0.3331 in which it shows the result that prove the hypothesis in which if mass is increasing then the terminal velocity would be increased as well. <br />Example to prove the hypothesis is accurate:<br />If Mass = 10 kgIf Mass = 20 kg<br />Then, V² = 210(9.8)0.00431.2(0.0689)Then, V² = 220(9.8)0.00431.2(0.0689)<br /> V = 61.39 m/s V = 86.82 m/s<br />From the solved equations from above shows that if the mass increased then the velocity will be increased from 61.39 m/s to 86.82 m/s which give the accuracy of the theory in which the more mass it has, the more velocity it takes to fall down. Even though the result from sample equation above can proves the hypothesis, but the level of confident is low. In the Figure 6, it shows the large uncertainty bars which it can show the quality of the data. Although, the second data in the graph can clearly shows how inaccurate the graph has because the data is not near in the linear fit. The reason that can cause the level of uncertainty to be high is because of the data recorded and the calculation of the uncertainty for the data. Therefore, to improve the experiment, one should take more careful data and carefully calculate the calculations for the experiment.<br />
