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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
'ds = v0 * 'dt + .5 * a * 'dt^2
2 = 0 * .64 + .5 * a * .64^2
9.8m/s^2

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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
d = .5 * a * t^2
5 = .5 * 9.8 * t^2
t = 1.01 sec
Yes, it is.

Are these observations consistent with the accepted value of the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.8 m / s^2?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Yes

This looks good. Let me know if you have any questions.
