Free fall with measure Dynamics
Article No: P2130780
The aim of this experiment is to film a high-speed video of a sphere falling from the height of fall h. The "measure Dynamics" software is used for the graphical representation of the distance as a function of time t and also as a function of the square of time t^2 as well as the graphical representation of the velocity v and acceleration a as a function of time t. Then, the measured values are used to determine the gravitational acceleration g. The velocity and acceleration are then integrated into the video, followed by a discussion of the results. Benefits Gravitation scrutinized Find out how the velocity of a falling object increases Didactical demonstration of the falling distances Visualise the squared distance-time law Steady set-up All crucial parts directly engineered for this experiment Tasks Determination of the gravitational acceleration by way of the distance-time law for the free fall. Determination of the gravitational acceleration by way of the velocity-time law for the free fall. Determination of the gravitational acceleration. Integration of the velocity and acceleration into the video. Learning objectives Linear motion due to constant acceleration Laws governing falling bodies Acceleration due to gravity
