Question

You obtained the following data performing a lab experiment:

t (s)    y(m)

1          5

2          20

3         45

4        80

Plot y (vertical axis) vs. t2 (horizontal axis). What is the slope of this line?

 

 

b.

Assume that  0.5g = slope;       g = acceleration due to gravity,      slope = answer to Problem 9.

What is the value of g?
