Lab 2 Physics 190 Acceleration “g” Due to Gravity – Method 2 Introduction Tonight we will measure the acceleration due to gravity again. This time however‚ we will collect more data and the analysis will be different. We will first fit the data using a second order polynomial. Recall for a mass falling from rest‚ that 1 (1.1) y a yt 2 2 Suppose a mass falls through n successively greater displacements‚ each time starting from rest. The displacements can be expressed a 2 y y t ;

cos11π/12 cos(x/2) = ± √((1+cosx)/2) we use this Half-Angle Formula to evaluate it. Since in this question‚ 11π/12 is in the Quadrant II‚ so cos(11π/12) should be negative. cos11π/12 = – √((1+cos(11π/6))/2) = – √((1+(√3/2))/2) to simplify it‚ both sides multiply by 2‚ – √(((1+(√3/2))(2))/((2)(2))) = – √((2+(√3))/4) You should know what cos(11π/6) is‚ and you just plug in the number and you should get the answer.
