    In Newtonian physicsfree fall is any motion of a body where its weight is the only force acting upon it. In the context of general relativity‚ where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature‚ a body in free fall has no force acting on it and it moves along a geodesic. The present article only concerns itself with free fall in the Newtonian domain. An object in the technical sense of free fall may not necessarily be falling down in the usual sense of the term. An object moving upwards

    Sample Formal Laboratory Report for Physics on the Picket Fence Lab (CP) without the parachute Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to verify the acceleration due to gravity using the picket fence with a photogate‚ LabPro and LoggerPro software by measuring it with a precision of 0.5% or better. Theory: All objects‚ regardless of mass‚ fall with the same acceleration due to gravity assuming that there is no air resistance. Objects thrown upward or downward and those released from

So we had to improvise and use our hand as the release mechanism as what we had seen this didn’t make difference from others results.

    Free-Fall Lab Assignment Nishad Gothoskar Physics Online Experimental Design: In order to design an experiment to measure free-fall acceleration‚ the researcher must construct a wooden tower with height 10 meters along with a trap door system to release a tennis ball from rest position. In this case‚ the researcher must measure the time the ball takes to free-fall from rest position to the ground. Using this info and the formula: s=vit+ 12at2 s = 10 m vi = 0 m/s The researcher will

    Lab {4} Free Fall Motion Abstract Within this laboratory students used a Macintosh computer‚ scientificwork interface‚ and photogate to measure the acceleration of gravity‚ g‚ in a free-fall experiment. Using a “picket fence” dropped through a photo gate with disregard for air resistance; students calculated the results from the charted data and compared it with the accepted value of 9.8 m/s2 discussing any variations and their

    of world records aimed to be broken in this mission was 4‚ but Felix only broke 3 world records‚ due to his faster free fall time. In this jump he ascended to the stratosphere in a capsule carried by a helium balloon up to 127‚851 ft. (38‚969 m) above New Mexico‚ USA‚ 34 km into its stratosphere. The total jump time from the capsule to the ground took Felix 10 minutes‚ with a free fall of 4 minutes 19 seconds before he deployed the parachute. There are 5 stages to Baumgartner’s jump: 1. The
