Purpose
The purpose of this lab experiment was to measure the
acceleration due to gravity of a free falling
object within the lab.
Equipment
1) Free fall apparatus
2) Ruler (accurate to ½ mm)
3) White tape
Procedure
1) Set up the free fall apparatus. 2) Secure tape to the free fall
apparatus so that current jumps occur
along the apparatus as the object falls, marking the tape at the

7. various spark points. 3) Turn off current
to the apparatus before 4) measuring the distances between the
periodic current jumps.
Data
Measured Displacement (Δx in
cm ±1cm)
Time (t in s) Calculated Velocity (v in cm/s
±3cm/s)
Δx1 = 3.0 t1 = 0.03 v1 = 90
Δx2 = 4.1 t2 = 0.07 v2 = 123
Δx3 = 5.2 t3 = 0.10 v3 = 156
Δx4 = 6.3 t4 = 0.13 v4 = 189
Δx5 = 7.4 t5 = 0.17 v5 = 222
Δx6 = 8.4 t6 = 0.20 v6 = 252
Δx7 = 9.5 t7 = 0.23 v7 = 285
Δx8 = 10.6 t8 = 0.27 v8 = 318
Δx9 = 11.7 t9 = 0.30 v9 = 351
Δx10 = 26.6 t10 = 0.37 v10 = 399
Δx11 = 15.0 t11 = 0.40 v11 = 450
Δx12 = 16.2 t12 = 0.43 v12 = 486

8. Analysis
Calculating Instantaneous Velocity
v = Δxx / t
Example:
v1 = Δx1 / t1 = 3.0cm / 0.03s = 90 cm/s
Propagation of error for velocity
Err. = √( (σv/σx * Δx)² + (σv/σt*Δt)² )
= √( (1/30 * 0.1)² + 0² )
= 3cm/s
Linear Regression Analysis
v(t) = (m * t) + b
m = n(Σ(tn * vn)) - (Σtn * Σvn) / n(Σtn²) – (Σtn)² = 970
b = Σvn - mΣtn / n = 58
where Σ(tn * vn) = (t1 * v1) + (t2 * v2) + ... + (tn * vn)
Σtn = t1 + t2 + ... + tn
Σvn = v1 + v2 + ... + vn
Σtn² = t1² + t2² + ... + tn²
v(t) = (970cm/s² * t) + 58cm/s
v = (a * t) + vi
where a = acceleration due to gravity
a = 970cm/s² or 9.70m/s²

Discussion
%error = ( |9.70m/s² - 9.7945m/s²| / 9.7945m/s² ) x100% = (
0.0945m/s² / 9.7945m/s² ) x100% = 1.0%
In this particular experiment there are multiple sources of error.
For one, the pulse machine cannot be
expected to fire at precisely 1/30th of a second every second. In
fact for measurement Δx10 it missed a
pulse. This was compensated for by doubling the amount of
time taken to cover the displacement to
1/15th of a second. Second, the arcs that mark the tape do not

10. occur in a precisely linear fashion because
electricity does not arc in a precisely linear way, which would
have caused the markings that were
measured to be slightly off. Also, air resistance was not taken
into account during the calculations,
which surely slowed the free falling object. Had the experiment
been done in a vacuum and with a
more reliable current pulse machine, I suspect the results would
have improved.
Conclusion
In this experiment we measured acceleration due to gravity
within the lab to be 9.70m/s², which is 1%
below the standard value.
