Freefall Picket Fence
In this lab, students generate velocity vs. time graph for a picket fence free-falling through a Photogate. Then, students will use their graphs to determine the acceleration due to gravity.
Freefall of a Picket Fence
A picket fence is dropped through a photogate and the slope of the graph of average velocity versus time gives the acceleration of the falling object.
