Preview 1 out of 2 pages

The notes for the physics lab on free fall focus on studying the motion of objects under the influence of gravity alone. Key concepts include acceleration due to gravity (g), equations of motion, and the absence of air resistance. The lab involves measuring the time and displacement of a falling object to calculate g and compare it to the theoretical value.
