    The purpose of the Picket Fence Free Fall Lab was to examine the acceleration of objects as they fall to earth. During free-fall the only force that should be acting upon the object is the earth’s gravitational pull (9.8 m/s/s)‚ therefore the velocity of the object should always equal 9.8 m/s/s. In this lab the picket fence was dropped repeatedly through a photogate connected to Logger Pro‚ which allowed the fence’s acceleration and velocity to be recorded and graphed. The results of the experiment

    the picket fence and how does the time affect the position(displacement) of the picket fence. The proposed hypothesis was that for Velocity- Time graph is that if time increases than velocity will increase because the speed will change over time. The hypothesis for displacement- Time graph is that if time increases position will increase because where the picket fence stared at will change a certain magnitude and direction. The purpose of this graph is to describe the acceleration of a free-falling

    honors Acceleration due to gravity by picket fence method Varun Kumar Pd 7 Saumya Kapoor & Tonia Li 9/26/2014 INTRODUCTION Acceleration is the increase or decrease in velocity. It can also be described as the rate of change in velocity. Acceleration is represented by the formula: . In this experiment we look at a specific type of acceleration‚ Free-Fall. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. There are two important motion characteristics

    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

    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
