Free Fall with timer 2-1
Principle
A sphere falls freely over certain distances. The falling time is measured and evaluated from diagrams. The acceleration due to gravity can be determined.
Benefits
- Gravitation scrutinized
- Find out how the velocity of a falling object increases
- Didactical demonstration of the falling distances
- Visualise the squared distance-time law
- Steady set-up
- All crucial parts directly engineered for this experiment
