We can see this from our lab results from the average speed of the marble traveling down the ramp‚ because it picks up speed. When the marble is released at the top of the ramp‚ the ball doesn’t have the same momentum

Instead‚ people are expected to sacrifice their moral integrity for the sake

Conclusion In this experiment‚ we measured the mass of 4 gasses; oxygen‚ carbon dioxide‚ helium‚ and lab gas. We took a Ziplock bag‚ and turned into a non-stretchy balloon‚ and filled with each gas and measured the apparent mass then calculated the actual mass‚ then find a ratio between the mass of oxygen and the other gasses. We tried to keep the pressure about the same each time so our calculations would be more accurate. We found out that the heaviest was carbon dioxide‚ and the lightest
