Determining the Acceleration Due to Gravity Lab

This lab is great for analysis of motion graphs (d vs. t, v vs. t, a vs. t) and how to change them one into another in a detailed manner. At the end, the students should find the acceleration due to gravity from the slope of the best fit line of the graph of v vs. t.

This lab, can give really great results (within 5% error) if the students do the right calculations.

Attached is the specifications for this lab.
