Problem

Does the weight of a tennis ball effect the distance it goes when hit by a golf club?

Overview of My Project

My project is to take four tennis balls and fill three with different amounts of water. Then hit them with a golf club and see if the amount of water effects the distance the tennis ball goes.

Research

1. Find things on mass affecting the outcomes.

2. Find things on golf clubs and tennis balls.

3. Find things on adding mass to an object.
