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.

After let the Picket Fence free fall, we will get the result for the first column – “Block
Event Times”. 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
