In an experiment to estimate the acceleration due to gravity, a student drops a ball at a distance of 1 m above the floor. His l
ab partner measures the time it takes to fall and obtains an estimate of 0.46 s. (a) What do they estimate the acceleration due to gravity to be?
(b) Let s be the ball's position relative to the floor. Using the value of the acceleration due to gravity that they obtained, and assuming that the ball is released at t = 0. determines (in m) as a function of time.
