Question

Using d=1/2at^2

calculate the average acceleration for each object, along with a percent error from the accepted value of 9.8m/s. 

drop height=10feet=3.048m

drop times of a cork:

1.1.03s

2.0.84s

3.0.64s

average drop time=0.837

 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

relation d=12at2

here d is drop height and d = 3.048 m

and time taken by cork in three tries

t1 = 1.03s ; t2 = 0.84 s and t3 = 0.64s
