Measuring Fall Time and Distance, Stopwatch and User Error
1. Setup
📌 Experiment Info:
We release a ball from a specific height. The ball falls with constant acceleration g = 9.8 m/s².
🎯 Objective:
Measure fall time and calculate distance using s = ½gt²
⚙️ Experiment Setup:
Distance between two lines:
-
cm
Theoretical Time:
-
seconds
2. Performing the Experiment
🖱️ Instructions:
Watch the ball. When it crosses the upper line, click [Start]. When it crosses the lower line, click [Stop].
