Physics Lab Questions

  1. If the falling body had been given an initial downward push instead of being only released, would the resulting observed value of g be different? Explain.

  2. Which of the following statements properly characterizes the motion of a heavy object thrown downward with high initial speed from a tall building? Neglect air resistance. Circle one. (a) uniform speed, (b) constant acceleration, (c) uniformly increasing acceleration, or (d) non-uniformly increasing acceleration?

  3. How long does it take a rock to fall 30 meters if it is released from rest? Show calculations.

  4. Does a ball dropped out of the window of a moving car take longer to reach the ground than one dropped from a car at rest? Please use a diagram to explain.

    Prediction Questions: The predictions provided on each lab handout are to help you prepare for the lab session. The questions will typically ask you to either do a calculation or think about a concept that will be used in the lab. Objective:  The objective of this laboratory exercise is to understand the effect that gravity has on falling objects.   You will also see two ways of measuring the acceleration due to gravity. Predictions:  A rock is dropped off a bridge and falls to...
