Essay text:
The acceleration due to gravity of all objects (each with varying mass) in this experiment was calculated to be 9.9 m/s/s [D]. The 1.0% error was easily accounted for by the sources of error present.
Synthesis:
Acceleration due to gravity has many practical applications including:
• the design and construction of amusement park rides, like Drop Zone at Canada’s Wonderland, which use this acceleration to increase the thrills and enjoyment of riders of all masses... Showed first 250 characters

Lab Report Acceleration
Introduction: Speed is the distance traveled per unit time, velocity at any given moment is the slope of the tangent line through any relevant point on the graph, acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, and instantaneous acceleration is acceleration at any particular instant of time or the limiting value ?v/?t as the time interval (?t) gets vanishingly small... |

Physics Introduction Notes
A) Original system- English System (King’s foot)
1) Issues: Availability and inconsistency
B) Metric system- Made by the French in 1789 after the French Revolution, when there was no king
1) Used the circumference of the earth, using Egyptian’s signs
2) 1 meter = distance (d)/ 10,000,000
3) Created a bar which equaled 1 Meter
(a) Constant and available BUT wasn’t precise
C) Measured (d) more carefully
D) 1960- used wavelengths of light to measure 1 meter = 1,600,000
E) 1970- measured a meter by the distance it took light to travel 3 hundred millionth of a second
