A. Compute for the average time of each free-fall distance.

B. Compute for each average time squared for each free-fall distance. 

C. Compute for a slope. 

D. Compute for the percentage error. 

ROUND OFF EACH ANSWER TO 1 DECIMAL POINT.

The slope of the best fit line is equal to one-half of the experimental acceleration (g.). Determine slope of best-fit line by choosing any two points within the line. With slope = 1/2.gep, Ssolve for g.ap using the equation, slope = rise/run. O Using the obtained g and the theoretical value of the acceleration (gre = 9.80 m/ s'), find the percentage error. By careful measurement of each time trial, percentage error may be less than 10%. % error = g.p- gmeor X 100 %
