The purpose of the Picket Fence Free Fall Lab was to examine the acceleration of objects as they fall to earth. During free-fall the only force that should be acting upon the object is the earth’s gravitational pull (9.8 m/s/s)‚ therefore the velocity of the object should always equal 9.8 m/s/s. In this lab the picket fence was dropped repeatedly through a photogate connected to Logger Pro‚ which allowed the fence’s acceleration and velocity to be recorded and graphed. The results of the experiment

honors Acceleration due to gravity by picket fence method Varun Kumar Pd 7 Saumya Kapoor & Tonia Li 9/26/2014 INTRODUCTION Acceleration is the increase or decrease in velocity. It can also be described as the rate of change in velocity. Acceleration is represented by the formula: . In this experiment we look at a specific type of acceleration‚ Free-Fall. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. There are two important motion characteristics

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
