The document summarizes an experiment that investigated the relationship between the density of a plastic ball and its dive distance when dropped into water. It was found that there is a linear relationship between density and dive distance, contrary to the theoretical prediction of a proportional relationship. This is likely due to factors like surface tension, buoyancy, and viscosity that were not accounted for in the simple theory. The results are only applicable to balls with the same properties as the one used in the experiment.
