Assignment 3 due Friday 20 September 2002:
If the steel ball we dropped in class took 0.584s to fall 1.72m,
0.486s to fall 1.20m, and 0.231s to fall 0.28m, what is the
acceleration of gravity g? Figure this out by evaluating
twice the distance divided by the time squared for
each measurement and averaging the three results.
How does this compare to 9.8m/s/s?
