After taking the nine different measurement values of the position and time, the average of the nine comes out to be 24.12 m/s. The 'g' values range from 53.6 m/s in the beginning measurements down to 16.5 m/s for the last measurement. My gut reaction is that there should just be one 'g'...

And I can understand that considering I am coming up with values that do not make sense. With that said, would the theoretical formula y = At^2/2 + Bt + C be a more accurate formula? Even with this formula, understanding that the variables are ‘y’ as position in meters and ‘t’ as the time...

Homework Statement After performing a quadratic curve fit tool in Pro Logger, I was given the values: A = -1.426E-05 +/- 2.386E-06 , B = 0.02193 +/- 0.001581, C = 0.4785 +/- 0.1905. With this information, how is “g” for Planet X determined from the parameters of the curve fit equation...
