BREAKING NEWS recently three students, Mike Belmont, Zach Haight, and Jake Barnes have found acceleration by gravity ina series of steps including using meter sticks to determine the height from the ball too the ground from the cieling of a classroom. by doing so they measured the time it took for the ball to hit the ground and also measured in metersthe height of the ball off the ground. they determined the acceleration by using a formula to determine distance and used conversions to find the acceleration of 8.98 meters per seconds squared. we can use this to determine acceleration on earth due to gravity. the percent error was 8.48 percent from the actual acceleration of 9.81 meters per second squared.

Article: Breaking News! West Irondequoit physics students have calculated the acceleration due to gravity! In a physics lab students participated in, they used only a stopwatch to find the acceleration due to gravity. They dropped a ball from the ceiling of their classroom and used only the initial velocity, height of ceilings and the time it took for the ball to drop from the ceiling to find the acceleration due to gravity with an equation. When calculating this, they had only 3.98% error from the actual 9.81 m/s2. They got 10.2 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. The students that preformed this lab had a breaking discovery that could change physics forever. By being able to calculate the acceleration due to gravity with only a simple stopwatch, physicists around the world can now do the same. This new strategy makes calculating this acceleration with simple algebra.

So are you saying that in one of these dimensions you're actually good at super Mario??. Fascinating stuff Jake, and don't go putting your cats in radioactive boxes, alright big guy?
