BIO 199 012: Measuring Gravity Physics textbooks claim that the acceleration of a falling object is 9.81 m/s^2. However, one reliable source on the internet, Wolfram Alpha, claims that the acceleration is 9.79871 m/s^2 in Lexington Kentucky. Our goal is to design and implement a high precision test for the acceleration of a falling object, and thereby resolve the conflict between these two values and possibly improve on the precision given by Wolfram Alpha. Controlled enrollment.
