Free Fall Adapter 012-05760B Experiment: Measuring g Introduction The equation of motion for a body starting from rest and undergoing constant acceleration can x = a be expressed as: where x is the distance the object has traveled from its starting point, a is the acceleration, and t is the time elapsed since the motion began.
012-05760B Free Fall Adapter If your graphs were linear, measure the slope of each graph. Using your measured slopes and the equation shown in the introduction to this experiment, determine the acceleration caused by gravity. Be sure to include the units. Was the acceleration the same for each ball? Conclusion Describe your laboratory experiment and discuss your results.
