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.

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
