    Calculating Height from Acceleration and Distance: A Ball Drop Experiment

    Sorry, but how did you determine T to be 2? I understand the T+1 part, but I'm unsure of how you reached got 2 as the time... And I did in fact get 19.62 as an answer with the "long route". Thanks for your help on that.

    Calculating Height from Acceleration and Distance: A Ball Drop Experiment

    Well, let's see... I know that acceleration is constant, being 9.81. I would then need to find the distance, and in doing so, I would assume I need the time that the ball is falling. I might even need the final velocity, knowing that the initial velocity is zero. But therein lays the problem I...

    Calculating Height from Acceleration and Distance: A Ball Drop Experiment

    Homework Statement If a ball is dropped from rest and in the last second travels three quarters of the distance, from what height is the ball dropped. I actually haven't taken physics for about a year, and I'm not taking it in university as a course, but one of my friends showed me this...
