Lab Assignment: Free-Fall Acceleration Laboratory:
20 points
Introduction
This lab will demonstrate the principles behind free-fall acceleration. Any object that is thrown or dropped in the presence of gravity experiences a constant acceleration. This acceleration is called free-fall acceleration or acceleration due to gravity.
First, design an experiment you could construct that might measure free-fall acceleration, and then you will carry out the virtual lab beginning on the next screen.
- What materials would you use? What would you measure?
- What results would you expect?
- What if the results were different; what would that indicate?
