A ball falls freely from rest at a height of 2 meters. Observations indicate that the ball reaches the ground in .64 seconds.
Based on this information what is its acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
2/.64= 3.125m/s
2*3.125/.64= 9.8m/s/s

Is this consistent with an observation which concludes that a ball dropped from a height of 5 meters reaches the ground in 1.05 seconds?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
5/1.05= 4.8m/s
2*4.8/1.05= 9.14
No this is not consistent

Are these observations consistent with the accepted value of the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.8 m / s^2?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The first problem is consiistent but the second is not.
&#Very good responses. Let me know if you have questions. &#
