    Calculating Acceleration Due to Gravity Using Velocity, Time, and Position Data

    no, the ball was thrown then catched, but i see what you're saying , so my v1 is 0, v2 0.157 m and time is 1.8s so the acceleration is 1.045 m/s^2 ? ahh so confusing!

    Calculating Acceleration Due to Gravity Using Velocity, Time, and Position Data

    Thank you :) but now when rearanging my eqation, i have 2 t, do i replace both with the same number ?!

    Calculating Acceleration Due to Gravity Using Velocity, Time, and Position Data

    this is what i have been looking for! but my teacher hasn't explained what s(t) = 0,5at^2 + v0*t means -_- would you mind explaining this to me?

    Calculating Acceleration Due to Gravity Using Velocity, Time, and Position Data

    that is what i ended up doing, yet i found an exceleration of -1.04m/s[SIZE="2"]2 ! urg that means the percent error is 89! does that even make sens if the ball i threw in the air was a volly ball ?

    Calculating Acceleration Due to Gravity Using Velocity, Time, and Position Data

    daveb ! thank you for replying so fast ! but my v-t graph has multiple places to find the sole. it starts at 0, accelerates up, then de-celerates ! where do i find my slope?

    Calculating Acceleration Due to Gravity Using Velocity, Time, and Position Data

    Homework Statement I was given a lab using the logger lite and go motion probe. After collecting my data, which is only velocity, time and position, i was asked to calculate the acceleration due to gravity. We have never gone over this and the only information i have is to due with what i said...
