Experiment 2: Acceleration due to gravity Student name: Graham Herkenrath Pre-lab section: 1) Introduction: Explain the theory behind this experiment in a paragraph between 150 and 250 words. (2 Points) This experiment is about the acceleration of a falling object that is observed to be in free fall, meaning that naturally occurring air resistance is not accounted for, making it possible to calculate the height of the drop and the gravitational acceleration on the object through the following equations: h = ½gt^2, g=2h/t^2. In this experiment both a golf ball and a steel ball will be dropped from a drop box and the time it takes for them to reach the timing pad will be recorded which will then be used to calculate the gravitational force acting on the object. This calculated value of gravitational force can then be compared to the accepted value of gravitational force, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, to find what the percent error is from the calculations. The mass and diameter of both the steel ball and the golf ball will also be calculated to make further calculations. 2) Hypothesis: In an If /Then statement, highlight the purpose of the experiment. If the steel or golf ball are not affected by air resistance ensuring the only force acting on the balls is gravity, then the acceleration of the objects descent or gravity should be around 9.8 m/s^2.
