Acceleration due to Gravity Experiment
Physics Class in Maimonides High with Mr. Raymond Reese
Debbie Jellett (on right) holds stop-watch timer - about to drop the ball from the 2nd floor window. Sarah Morgenbesser looks on. Devorah Chaya Seigel and Shaindy Klein wait on the ground, to signal the exact moment the ball hits the ground to stop the timer.
The same experiment was done at the first story level as well, and we realized that regardless of the height of the drop, the acceleration due to gravity was the same at all heights measured.
Same picture as above - only showing the 2nd floor height.
