Thanks for confirming the theory. Now another hypothetical, last question lol, because of air resistance wouldn’t you get an under approximation of g? Or do you think there are other sources of error that may cause it to be an overestimation?

I figured as much; I’m only saying that assuming we have a shape that can be approximated to mr^2 does plotting v^2 against h give a decent value of g? I don’t really see any other problems besides the mr^2 approximation so forget about it for now. Also, I believe it is possible to get really...

I meant a hoop/wheel thing idk how to describe it but it has a moment of inertia of I=mr^2. So assuming that is true, would you be able to obtain a value close to 9.8 for g?

I=mr^2

The slope of the v^2 vs h graph is g
