npignato Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 This experiment had a large margin of error, due to in part from the equipment used and its mechanical limitations. The stop watch used is extremely hard to time with a person jumping, and just as hard to stop when the person lands back down. In order to eliminate much of the error, a more state of the art piece of equipment can be used to record the data. An infrared beam attached to a computer, with the Logger Pro program on, would more easily record the time of a person jumping and falling back down.
