Acceleration of Gravity
1) Friction. Explain the role of friction in the measurement ofg.
2) Time. The time resolution of the timer used in the experimentis 0.1 ms (milliseconds). Do you expect that the precision of thetimer may have affected the measurement of g?
3) Distance. How do you expect that the measurement of thedistance D between the photogates may have affected the measurementof g?
4) Angle. How do you expect that the measurement of the angle ofincline θ may have affected the measurement of g?
5) Summary. Based on the % difference histogram, which of thepossible causes listed above do you think did actually affect themeasurement of g? If so, in which direction?
