C2-04: FREE FALL WITH PHOTOCELL GATES
- C2-04
- Measure acceleration due to gravity
- The gates are set about x = 50 cm apart along the vertical line defined by the guide tube. A short aluminum cylinder is held immediately above the top photocell beam and released. The acceleration of gravity is then determined using the equation g = 2 x / t**2.
