Question 12

A student carries out an experiment to estimate the acceleration due to gravity, $g$ .

She drops a solid plastic sphere from a balcony and measures the time, $t$ , it takes to fall to the ground through a height, $h$ .

She records the following measurements:

Height, $3.60\text{ m}$
Time, $0.86\text{ s}$

Calculate the value of $g\,$ from these measurements.

Use the equation:

\frac{2h}{t^2}
