Acceleration Due To Gravity Experiment Lab Report

To measure the acceleration due to gravity of two steel balls of different sizes as they fall from specified heights using the assumption that gravity is the only force acting on them as they fall.

Acceleration due to gravity experiment lab report. Conclusion the experiment is to calculate the acceleration of gravity using the smart timers. Using a cbl the acceleration of a cart moving freely on an inclined plane is measured. Since the incline is essentially frictionless a component of gravity produces the. Namely if we have means of measuring height and time of the free fall for any object then the acceleration due to gravity can be easily determined using equation 2.

August 20 2001 purpose. Determining the acceleration due to gravity with a simple pendulum quintin t. Theory all dense objects in free fall have the same acceleration which is known as the acceleration due to gravity the value of acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9 80 m s2. The experiment was completed two times and data was collected by the photogate and transmitted to the macbook via the labquest 2 device both times.

Advanced undergraduate lab department of physics and astronomy university of utah salt lake city utah 84112 this is an example of a lab report associated with obtaining the acceleration due to gravity g and applying mathematical models. Md mushfiqur rahman purpose. Lab report acceleration due to gravity physics 1433 professor sophia domokos 03 18 2017 objectives during this experiment we will be able to verify that the. The results of this experiment showed that acceleration due to earth s gravity remains constant.

In this experiment a vertical stand with an electromagnet at the top. Our experiment is based on equation 2. Evelynn walton department of physics university of utah salt lake city 84112 ut usa dated. Acceleration due to gravity example 2 date.

The data in the tables above showed the acceleration remaining almost completely constant.
