Claim- The mass of the fiber does not change if you pull it apart, it stays the exact same.
Evidence- When we did this experiment, we first measured the mass as it was, without pulling it apart. Then recorded the data. Next we ripped the fiber into several pieces and remeasured it. It had the exact same mass as before. When we made the histograms some people's fiber had a very small change in mass, but you also have to remember that the scales have a little error sometimes. Even though the mass on the scale may look like it changed, it really didn't.
Reasoning-The mass of the fiber before and after should be the same, because nothing is really happening to it. It is still the same object as before, only in smaller pieces. It didn't have anything added or taken away from it either. There should still be the same amount of particles also, they are just spread farther away from each other.
