Your friend says that the mass of any object is distributed symmetrically around its
center of mass. Design an experiment to test your friend's idea. You have a meter
stick, a set of small objects of different masses, masking tape, and a mass measuring
scale. Describe your experiment and predict the outcome based on your friend's ide
Think of what the friend is saying and write a
mathematical statement to represent the friend's
statement. This is the hypothesis that you will test
using the experiment that you will design. It's best to
try to disprove a hypothesis, rather than trying to
prove one, because a hypothesis once disproved is
disproved for sure, but one that has been supported
by one experiment can still be disproved by a new
experiment.
