Frank_Ocean Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Mr. Jordan Kushel and his cronies Abby Corbett and Alex Shoemaker have recently discovered that gravity accelerates at a rate of 8.82 m/s squared. They’re wrong you say? False! They measured it themselves! False again! It’s actually 9.81 m/s squared but they were within 9% accuracy! WOW! All they did was drop a ball from the top of a two meter stick, and measure the time it took to fall to the ground. Using a simple formula “square root of 2(distance) divided by time = acceleration” and just like that they came up with a wrong answer due to things like timing incorrectly or dropping that ball at different heights. However they tried! Great job guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
