What’s inside this experiment?
Two spheres with a 15 cm diameter, launched at the same speed and angle from level ground. Gravity is 9.81 m/s². Air mode adds quadratic drag, with no wind or spin. Changing mass keeps size fixed. Flight is played back over 2.2 seconds; measured flight time is shown in the notebook.
