Question

A. Compute for the average time of each free-fall distance.

B. Compute for each average time squared for each free-fall distance. 

C. Compute for a slope. 

D. Compute for the percentage error. 

E. Give Conclusion

F. Give Analysis

The slope of the best fit line is equal to one-half of the experimental
acceleration (g.). Determine slope of best-fit line by choosing any two points
within the line. With slope = 1/2.gep, Ssolve for g.ap using the equation, slope =
rise/run.
O Using the obtained g and the theoretical value of the acceleration
(gre = 9.80 m/ s'), find the percentage error. By careful measurement of each
time trial, percentage error may be less than 10%.
% error = g.p- gmeor X 100 %
