simple question, can you answer ...??!??!
Ok, all you physics whizzes out there, I am usually quite good at physics, and I am in the middle of something, its some crappy motion and acceleration work.
Starting with s=ut + 1/2 at^2
In this experiment I am dropping the objuect, so obviously u = 0, s = displacement, which in this case I've got a range of values for. t = time, which again i have a range of values for., this leaves me with calculating a, all seems fine, but as a sidenote, the teacher has put, "a = g", so what is g
ive never heard of a g in this kind of topic. Its not gravity, cos I am suposed to be working it out, lol, gravitational field strength is a constant at 9.81, so its not that.
and also, I am getting rusty at this, does a correspond to finish speed or end speed, or is it something completely different like acceleration?
Thanks for the help, dragon2309
