What is Measuring Gravity via Free Fall Experiment about?

This experiment studied the acceleration of falling bodies. Two steel balls of different masses were dropped from various heights and the time taken to hit a receptor plate was measured. A graph of average height vs average time squared was made and the slope was used to calculate the acceleration due to gravity. The calculated value of 5.90 m/s^2 had a 40% error compared to the accepted value of 9.81 m/s^2. Sources of error included inaccuracies in the release sensor and height measurements. Analysis showe
