Lab 05: Measuring the Acceleration due to Gravity 47 3 An alternative way of determining the value of g is to find the slop the slop of the graph of weight vs mass. On piece of graph paper, with mass on the x-axis and weight on the y-axis, plot the weights for each mass in Data Table II. Determine the sl ine the slope of the line of best fit for your data and record this on the graph as the value of g. Calculate the percent difference between the accepted value (9.81 m/s') and your measured value for g. How does your value compare to the accepted value? Explain. (10 points) How does your value compare with the accepted value? What changes would you make to this part of the experiment in order to measure the value of g more accurately?

How long does it take the fisherman to reach the water and what is the fisherman's speed on entering th water? Show your work. (10 points)
