In a free-fall experiment (see figure below), a ball is dropped through several trials.
Below is the data set for N=15 trials of time of fall.
0.35,0.42,0.38,0.36,0.40,0.37,0.41,0.39,0.34,0.43,0.37,0.35,0.39,0.36,0.38
The acceleration due to gravity can be calculated as g=2ht2, where h=0.50m.
Answer the following strictly in THREE decimal places (on all calculations).
Calculate the value of g for EACH trial. What is the mean of g? Recall that
x=1Ni=1Nxi?b
ar(g)= Blank 1ms2
What is the variance of the measurement of g? Recall that
4, If the true value of g is 9.807ms2, what is your % error? Recall that
96 error =lruevalue-experimentalvalueltruevalue100
Hint Use ?bar(g) in the calculation
??% error = Blank 4%
