For my project I plan to get a bunch of different objects, weigh them all, then throw them as far as I can and see if there is a linear relationship between the weight of the object thrown and the distance it traveled before hitting the ground. The results I got out of this experiment were just about as I had expected. I definitely thought that there would be a linear correlation and a fairly strong one at that. I only got a correlation of -.71 but that can be attributed to the fact that this experiment was not done as well as it could have been. For example I'm sure that some bags were thrown harder than others, meaning that every bag was not thrown with equal power. Also some bags likely had much more wind resistance than others affecting their respective distances thrown.
