(1D60.20) Drop and Shoot
$0.00
When the spring mechanism is released, one ball will only experience acceleration due to gravity, while the other will experience acceleration due to gravity and an initial horizontal velocity. The latter will be following projectile motion, but both should strike the floor at the same time (as verified by sounds of the balls hitting the table top). This is because vertical and horizontal motion are independent of one another and the two balls experience the same vertical acceleration.
