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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

a = 2 `ds / `dt^2

4m/.64^2

9.7m/s^2

By the formula vO*’dt is removed do to it is at rest. The remaining is used to achieve acceleration.

#$&*

• 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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

a = 2 `ds / `dt^2

10m/1.05^2

9.07m/s^2 is not consistent with the above acceleration.

#$&*

• Are these observations consistent with the accepted value of the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.8 m / s^2?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

No neither one matches the acceleration of gravity.
