This is my conclusion for my project.
My results were inconclusive. My hypothesis stated: The smaller the mass the farther it will fly. I learned there are more factors that affect the flight of an object. Those are: the shape, the size and also the mass. On some it was true the smaller the mass it did fly far and the larger the mass the less it flew. For example the golf ball is built to fly far so it flew the farthest.
