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

Premium Classical mechanics Force Mass
In Newtonian physics‚ free fall is any motion of a body where its weight is the only force acting upon it. In the context of general relativity‚ where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature‚ a body in free fall has no force acting on it and it moves along a geodesic. The present article only concerns itself with free fall in the Newtonian domain. An object in the technical sense of free fall may not necessarily be falling down in the usual sense of the term. An object moving upwards

Free-Fall Lab Assignment Nishad Gothoskar Physics Online Experimental Design: In order to design an experiment to measure free-fall acceleration‚ the researcher must construct a wooden tower with height 10 meters along with a trap door system to release a tennis ball from rest position. In this case‚ the researcher must measure the time the ball takes to free-fall from rest position to the ground. Using this info and the formula: s=vit+ 12at2 s = 10 m vi = 0 m/s The researcher will
