Description

In the experiment P1.3.5.1, electronic time measurement is started as soon as the ball is released through interruption of the magnet current. After traveling a falling distance h, the ball falls on a contact plate, stopping the measurement of time t. The measurements for various falling heights are plotted as value pairs in a path-time diagram. As the ball is at rest at the beginning of timing, g can be determined using the relationship
