5. A student drops a ping-pong ball (2.7 grams) and another identical ping pong ball filled staples (10 grams) to see if mass has any effect on an object's acceleration during free fall in the real world where air resistance is present. They are both released from rest on a balcony 20 meters high.

Use the data to find an equation that shows this. Hint: You will need to use semi-log axes. 5.
