  1. Amazing! simply Amazing!, students at Irondequoit High School have recently calculated the acceleration of an object due to gravity. they were able to do this through a specialized lab in which one student held a ball to the ceiling while the other measured the distance to the floor. they then timed how long it took the ball to fall to the floor using a stopwatch.  after finding the average time of three trials the students used a kinematic equation to find the acceleration of the ball( d=ViT +1/2(A)(T)^2). once found the acceleration was used in the percent error equation to find the difference between the calculated value and the accepted value(9.81m/s^2). There have been rumors that these same students also found a way to measure one's jumping displacement.

  2. My name is Danny, I am a junior at Irondequoit high school. my interests include playing soccer, walking my dogs, Murray and Charlie, and eating. My favorite food has to be milkshakes because they're milkshakes and milkshakes are great.

     

    The reason I am taking Physics is to gain more experience for college and to expand my overall knowledge of science.
