What is Free Fall Activity: Measuring Gravity about?

This document describes an experiment to measure the acceleration due to gravity (g) on different masses and compare it to the accepted value of 9.81 m/s^2. Students will drop coins of various masses from a fixed height and measure the time it takes each coin to hit the ground. Using the kinematic equation that relates displacement, initial velocity, acceleration, and time, students can calculate the value of g for each trial. The average measured g will then be compared to the accepted value to determine t
