<strong>Phys</strong>ics Labs with Computers, Vol. 1<strong>Student</strong> <strong>Workbook</strong>P05: Free Fall (Picket Fence) 012-07000A2. How does the mean of the acceleration from the table compare to the accepted value of theacceleration of a free falling object (g = 9.8 m/s2)?3. What factors do you think may cause the experimental value to be different from theaccepted value?Optional• Determine whether releasing the Picket Fence from just above the Photogate or from severalinches above the Photogate makes any difference in the value of the acceleration. Note thatthe Table and Graph displays will show the most recently recorded run of data. To view adifferent run of data, click on the DATA menu and select the data run you want from the list.• Sketch a graph of velocity vs. time for an object falling from rest, taking into account airresistance.p. 34 © 1999 PASCO scientific P05
