Diagram 3 shows two trolleys of different masses.
Both trolleys move at the same velocity and fall over the edge of the table and hit the floor. What is the same physics quantity for both trolleys?
Gravitational potential energy

Diagram 4 shows a PVC vacuum tube is erected vertically. Three identical spheres made off cork, c, rubber, r and steel, s are dropped through the tube. The time, t, taken to reach the base of the tube is recorded as tc, tr and ts respectively.
ts > tr > tc
tc > tr > ts
tr > ts > tc,
ts = tr = tc,
Diagram 6 shows a mango falling from a tree.
