Determination of the Acceleration Due to Gravity By A Good Student Abstract The acceleration due to gravity‚ g‚ was determined by dropping a metal bearing and measuring the free-fall time with a pendulum of known period. The measured value is 9.706 m/s2 with a standard deviation of 0.0317‚ which does not fall within the range of known terrestrial values. Centrifugal forces and altitude variations cannot account for the discrepancy. The calculation is very sensitive to the measured drop

Discussion The purpose of this experiment was to determine if splitting a bean would affect its rate of respiration. Splitting a bean does not impact its rate of respiration. This is shown in the data‚ while the average rate of respiration for Whole beans is 1.35 and the rate of respiration for 1.16‚ the standard error of the mean is .15. Because the standard error of the mean is so high‚ they overlap in both of the data sets‚ which shows that the data is very similar. This is better shown in the
