... through gate A and the final velocity through gate B. The readings that the computer shows will have only a 1% error. To make sure that the values of "g" I calculate does not just apply to that one situation the distance will be a variable. The light gates will be attatched to a clamp stand and the distance altered. This will be measured by hand with a ruler which has again a 1% error as it is measured to the nearest millimeter. ?FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=Measurement of results" The mass will not affect the results but the same amount shall still be used in order to prove beyond a doubt that gravity is constant. The range of results will be from 0.3m to 0.6m. This is because at a smaller distance the computer is unable to register the speeds fast enough, and at a greater distance the light gates do not connect ...
