Finding Value for Gravity

PHYSICS
Finding a value for Gravity experimentally

d = Ramp Length (s)
s = 1.83m (constant)
u = 0ms-¹

The aim of the experiment was to find a value for gravity. We did this by setting up the experiment as shown above.

EQUIPMENT USED:
• Trolley
• Plank (d)
• Book(s) (h)
• 2 Timers
• String
• Lighter
• Cellatape

METHOD

We firstly set up the experiment by getting a plank of wood (d), which was 1.83m in length, being our constant. This is the platform for the trolley would role down. A pie...
