Time of fall, distance travelled and acceleration due to gravity
Application
Study of free fall, gravity, velocity and acceleration
About This Product
The body is released from a set height and the time taken to fall is recorded, then the drop is repeated from other heights. From the readings students calculate the acceleration due to gravity and see how distance fallen grows with time in uniformly accelerated motion. Laboratories and colleges in Ghana, Cameroon, Guyana, Moldova and Malawi can buy the Free falling bodies kit through an export order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a timer included with the Free Falling Bodies Kit?
A digital timer or timing system is connected when an experiment needs accurate timing; it is not listed as part of the kit.
