The equation of distance as a function of time for a freely falling object is described, according to theory, by the equation:
since (vi=0 , yi=0)
y(t)= yi+vt*t+1/2*g*t2
Use the table for :
make a plot of y(t) vs t2 , and then calculate the slope in order to find g (the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.8 m/s2)
find Slope = Δy / Δt2
g =
