Professor Franco 8/28/13 Measurements – Acceleration of Gravity \ 1
The purpose of this experiment is to measure the gravitational acceleration of various objects from different heights in order to see what effects gravity has on these objects. For the first part of the experiment, each lab team was given a specific height to perform the experiment at. In this part of the experiment, our goal was to get the average of different time measurements at a constant height. For the second part of the experiment, we used the combined set of values from the whole class in order to determine the data at various heights. Computed Results from Table 1 (Heavier Steel Ball) Average time 0.4484 (s) Standard deviation 2.22x10^-3 (s) Experimental value of free fall time from distance of 100 cm .4484 ± 2x10^-3 (s) Acceleration due to gravity 995 cm/s² Computer Results from Table 3 (Lighter Steel Ball) Average time: 0.4488 (s) Computed Results from Table 4 (Heavier Steel Ball) Average acceleration 1001.6 cm/s² Standard deviation 13.945 cm/s² Experimental value 1001.6 ± 13.945 cm/s² Percent error 2.20% 2
