Experiment to Measure the Acceleration of Free Fall Flashcards
1
Q
Why in the experiment do we use a small steel ball?
A
It feels very little air resistance
2
Q
What do you have to measure in order to work out its acceleration due to gravity?
A
- Timing its fall - Through a known distance
3
Q
What do you use to eliminate inaccuracy such as your reaction time?
A
- Use an electronic timer
4
Q
