1
Experiments for finding ‘g’
Topic 9.2 Space
2
Syllabus Dot Point perform an investigation and gather information to determine a value for acceleration due to gravity using pendulum motion or computer-assisted technology and identify reason for possible variations from the value 9.8 ms-2
3
Option 1: Using a simulation
Phet Projectile Motion sim Phet Pendulum Lab sim Phet Mass & Springs Lab sim
4
Phet Projectile Motion sim http://phet. colorado
v = uy - gt g = uy/t
5
Phet Pendulum Lab sim http://phet. colorado
T = 2p.SQRT(l/g) T2 = 4p2l/g g = 4p2.l/T2
6
Phet Mass & Springs Lab sim http://phet. colorado
T = 2p.SQRT(x/g) T2 = 4p2.x/g g = 4p2.x/ T2
