Tran,4 [Your title] Introduction Methods and Theory3 In this experiment, we have an object "free fall” which give out the result for “Block Event Times” and then measure the acceleration. We use the Picket Fence which is a clear plastic strip with uniformly spaced opaque bands, a device called Photogate which has a beam of light travel from one side to the other and the Pasco machine. As we drop the Picket Fence through Photogate, it will calculate the time between two black strips on the Picket Fence and send the data to Pasco Software. The result gives us the time between each black strips interact with the photogate and we can calculate the different time between every two black strips, the velocity at each black strip and the acceleration in the “free-fall” experience. Safety4 We need to put the yellow No-Bounce Pad under the photogate so when we drop the Picket Fence, it reduces the impact of the Picket Fence and the hard surface below , avoid Picket Fence from breaking.

This is the time (second) the photogate receive the signal between each black strip on the Picket Fence. 1. From the result, we can calculate the time distance(Δt) that the gate receives between two successive black strips on the Picket Fence. the time distance = (Block Event Time 1 - Block Event Time 2) = 3.5975s - 3.6433s = 0.0458s 2. We can calculate the Average time of two successive black strips interact with the photogate by the formula : Average Time 1 = (Block Event Time 1 + Block Event Time 2)/2= (3.5975s + 3.6433s)/2 = 3.62040s 3. We can calculate the Velocity of the space between two successive black strips by the formula : ( The distance between two successive black strips is 5 cm or 0.05m ) Velocity = The distance between two successive black strips/ the time distance = 0.05m / 0.0458 = 1.091703057 m/s 4.We can calculate the acceleration Results Tran,6 Figure 1.

Abstract
This experiment was conducted to determine the acceleration of a free-falling body. Based on the
existing theory, the velocity of a free-falling body is dependent on the acceleration due to gravity.
The accepted acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2. This experiment employed the use of Picket
Fence and Photogate beam to establish the acceleration due to gravity. The set up was put up as
required and the standard procedure as given in the Lab manual was used to guide the experiment.
The measured parameters were distance between the bands and the time taken for the free-falling
object to bypass a particular distance. The two parameters were used to determine average
velocities at respective intervals.

Introduction
This experiment was conducted to determine the acceleration of a free-falling body. This
was done using a Picket Fence and photogate. The Picket Fence is a clear plastic strip having opaque
bands that are uniformly spaced. The photogate produces a beam that is blocked by the opaque
bands of free-falling Picket Fence. The time interval from one blockage to the next is obtained and
recorded. As the velocity of the falling Picket Fence increases, the time intervals become shorter.
The distance between the leading edge of each band is known. The average velocity for each interval
is calculated from the known distance and obtained time. The slope of a plot of average velocity
against time gives the acceleration of the...
