The ball was dropped over ten distances ranging from y 1 = 10 cm to y 10 = 100 cm in 10-cm increments. For each value of y i = 10icm (i= 1;:::;10), the ball was dropped ten times. The apparatus consisted of a meter stick held vertically by clamps. A Pasco free-fall adapter was clamped at various heights on the stick and used to drop the ball ...
Exercise 2: Ball Drop. The goal of this exercise is to measure the acceleration of an object in free fall. For this experiment you will need the following items: A measuring device (ideally a measuring tape, but you can tape sheets of paper together and put markings on it as well).
In this lab you will measure the acceleration due to gravity near the earth’s surface with two experiments: first, by determining the time for a steel ball to fall a known vertical distance (free fall), and then second, by measuring the velocity of a cart at various points
The overall aim of the experiment is to calculate the value of the acceleration due to gravity, g. This is done by measuring the time it takes for a ball-bearing to fall a certain distance. The acceleration is then calculated using an equation of motion.
As the current to the magnet switches off, the ball drops and the timer starts; When the ball hits the trapdoor, the timer stops; The reading on the timer indicates the time it takes for the ball to fall a distance, h; Measure the distance from the bottom of the ball bearing to the trap door switch with a metre ruler and record this distance as ...
When you describe distance, you only include the magnitude, the size or amount, of the distance traveled. However, when you describe the displacement, you take into account both the magnitude of the change in position and the direction of movement.
