    Measurement of Free-Fall Acceleration Introduction Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)‚ the man first accredited with the correct notion of free-fall with uniform acceleration‚ stated that ’if one were to remove entirely the resistance of the medium‚ all materials would descend with equal speed.’ Today‚ this statement holds true for all objects in free-fall near the Earth’s surface. The purpose of this experiment is to verify Galileo’s assertion that acceleration is constant. In addition‚ the magnitude

    Free fall and the acceleration due to gravity Problem/Question: How do you measure the acceleration of a falling object? Hypothesis: by measuring velocities of a falling ball then applying the data into equations numerous times‚ the results should approach to the acceleration. Variables: A: Independent Velocity B:Dependant Acceleration C:Constant Distance (photo gates) Materials: Photo gates‚ Clay ball‚ Photo gates machine.

    Abstract In this experiment Newton’s Second Law of Motion was measured with the use of the gravitational acceleration g on Earth by applying a free fall process. Objective The objective of this experiment is to validate Newton’s Second Law of motion. In experimenting the Law the measurement of acceleration of gravity was used by measuring the distance a dropped ball travels for a specific amount of time. Procedure First‚ measurements were taken of the distance from the stairway

    Physics 211 Experiment 1: Free Fall - Determining the acceleration of gravity Prior to Lab: Derive the numbered equations (Equations 1‚ 2 and 3) in the lab instructions using the definitions of velocity and acceleration (a=dv/dt and v=dy/dt). Object: The object of this experiment is to determine the value of the acceleration of gravity by measuring the rate of acceleration of a freely falling object. In addition‚ one will be able to compare theory with experiment for constantly accelerated

    Sample Formal Laboratory Report for Physics on the Picket Fence Lab (CP) without the parachute Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to verify the acceleration due to gravity using the picket fence with a photogate‚ LabPro and LoggerPro software by measuring it with a precision of 0.5% or better. Theory: All objects‚ regardless of mass‚ fall with the same acceleration due to gravity assuming that there is no air resistance. Objects thrown upward or downward and those released from

    2/12/2013 Lab 1430 Free Fall The difference of the outline procedure and the actual procedure is the use of the brass screw was not working in our set up. So we had to improvise and use our hand as the release mechanism as what we had seen this didn’t make difference from others results.

    Lab {4} Free Fall Motion Abstract Within this laboratory students used a Macintosh computer‚ scientificwork interface‚ and photogate to measure the acceleration of gravity‚ g‚ in a free-fall experiment. Using a “picket fence” dropped through a photo gate with disregard for air resistance; students calculated the results from the charted data and compared it with the accepted value of 9.8 m/s2 discussing any variations and their
