really need help fast for my NYS Science Experiment Test
So here is the question...

If a ball is released form a certain height and rolls into a cup pushing it and you measure how far the cup moved and you repeat the EXACT SAME THING AGAIN WITH THE SAME RELEASE POINT... WHY ARE THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE DISTANCE THE CUP TRAVELED DIFFERENT AND NOT THE SAME IF THE GOLF BALL IS RELEASED AT THE SAME RELEASE POINT ON THE RAMP AND NO FORCE IS ADDED (LIKE PUSHING THE GOLF BALL)

I need TWO reasons why this would occur (This experiment is done in a basement so no wind interference is added)

Please the test is tomorrow, please answer this question. Im realy bewildered by this enigma

You already posted the same question in the Physics section – here – please don’t double post. Confused Two threads with identical starting posts but different sets of replies can be confusing. Razz
