Question
Please check if it’s correct
Use the middle of the 5 measurements for your calculations. Use the equation:

\[ a = g \sin(\theta) \]

to find the acceleration due to gravity. Of course you'll need the equations of kinematics to determine the acceleration "a" first before finding \( g \). Again compare your result to the actual value of 9.80 m/sec\(^2\).

Then list 5 possible reasons why your result was different than the expected value.

**Experiment #2**

In this section of the experiment, we will locate a smooth surface at an angle and measure the distance between the starting and finishing points of the hill. Then we'll place a ball at the top of the hill, let it go, and time how long it takes for the ball to roll down the hill, and repeat until we get 5 measurements total.

**Diagram and Calculations:**

1. **Triangle Setup:**
   - Triangle ABC with:
     - \( AB = 29 \text{ in} \)
     - \( AC = 67 \text{ in} \)
   - \(\sin \theta = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{29}{67} = 0.4328\)
   - \(\theta = \sin^{-1}(0.4328) \approx 25.6^\circ\)

2. **Kinematic Equation:**
   - Given:
     - \(a = g \sin \theta\)
     - \(u = 0\)
   - Equation:
     - \( s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2 \)
     - \( s = \frac{1}{2} g \sin \theta t^2 \)
     - \( g = \frac{2s}{\sin \theta t^2} \)

3. **Time of Top Going Down Hill:**

   | Trial | Time (sec) |
   |-------|------------|
   | 1     | 0.80 sec   |
   | 2     | 0.60 sec   |
   | 3     | 0.74 sec   |
   | 4     | 0.46 sec   |
   | 5     | 0.66 sec   |

4. **Average Time and Calculations:**
   - Average time \( t = \frac{0.74 + 0.84 + 0.46 + 0.66}{5} = 0.5 \text{ sec} \)
   - Distance \( s = 67 \text{ in} = 1.7018 \text{ m} \)
   - \(\sin \theta = 0.4328\)
   - \( g = \frac{s}{\sin \theta t^2} = \frac{2(1.7018)(0.5^2)}{
