Laboratory 3 Report
The goal of this experiment is to learn more about Newtons 2
nd
law
of motion, to help us understand acceleration, gravity, and the
movement of an object.
Observation
Describe the motion as the ball is falling.
The ball falls straight down
Estimate how long it takes the ball to reach the floor.
About 3 seconds
What can you say about the speed of the ball as a function of
the distance it has already fallen?
The ball’s speed would increase the closer it got to the ground
If you drop the ball from about half of your height, does it take
approximately half the time to reach the floor?
About half the time yes, but it would not have as fast of speed by the end because it was a shorter
distance

Describe your graph. Does it resemble a straight line? If not,
what does it look like?
The graph has a positive slope and is increasing at an increasing
rate
Was the ball moving with constant velocity? How can you tell?
The ball was not moving at a constant velocity because it began to
curve upward as the time got longer, meaning the position
increased at a faster rate.
Describe your graph. Does it resemble a straight line? If not,
what does it look like?
The graph does not resemble a straight line as it has a bunch of
jumps in it as the Velocity was not constant

Velocity vs Time
Time (s)
Velocity (m/s)
What value do you obtain for the acceleration of the ball? How
does your experimental value of the magnitude of the
acceleration compare to the accepted value of the magnitude
of the acceleration of a free-falling object?
Reminder: percent difference = 100%* |accepted value -
experimental value|/accepted value
The acceleration of the ball would be the slope of the trendline,
being 10.133 m/s^2. The experimental value would 3.4% because
100x|9.8-10.133|/9.8 = 3.4
What factors do you think may cause your experimental value
to be different from the accepted value? In other words, what
are some possible sources of error?
Some factors that may cause the experimental value to be
difference from the accepted value would be human error, like if the
calibration wasn’t done correctly, or if the person did not click the
exact same spot on the ball as it was falling then it would mess up
the results.
Paste your position versus time graph (with trendline) into your
log.

PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS
1. One of the timing devices Galileo used was his pulse. Drop a rubber ball from a height of
about 2 m and try to determine how many pulse beats elapsed before it hits the ground. What
was the timing problem that Galileo encountered?
2. Now measure the time it takes for the rubber ball to fall 2 m, using a watch or clock with a
second hand or seconds display. Did the results improve substantially?
3. Roll the hard ball down an incline that makes an angle of about 10° with the horizontal. First
use your pulse and then your watch or clock to measure the time of descent.
4. Do you think that during Galileo's day it was possible to get useful data for any of these
experiments? Why?

Keeping the total mass constant
1. Look at the data: as the net force increased, what happened to the acceleration? Did it increase, decrease or stay constant?
2. Did a change in the net force produce a change in acceleration by the same factor? Do your results agree with Newton’s 2nd Law?
3. Make a plot of Net Force vs. Experimental Acceleration and draw the best fitting line.
