Is it possible to measure g, a value of physzics with an x-periment using a basketball and other laboratory materials, appartuses that are availabe.

(yes, i know it is possible but how should the experiment be like)

first to give a good answer receives 10 straight points and a personal thank you card,

You need to do your own homework. How will you ever learn otherwise?

okay, does g refer to gravity? if so, then using a basketball, find someplace with a tall height, and measure the distance of that height (or to the point where you will drop the basketball). then, using a timer, start the timer the moment the ball is let go, and stop it once the ball lands on the ground.

then, use the formula d=vt+1/2a(t^2)
d=distance you measured
v=initial velocity (plug in zero)
t=time measured with stopwatch
a=acceleration (gravity, the term you're solving for)

then g should approximate 9.81 m/s (meters per second)
or 32 ft/s

Try using pendulum.You only need a small ball , a string and stopwatch.

Attach the ball to ceiling with the string so that it can swing freely like a pendulum.Measure the string length up to the center of the ball.Swing the pendulum and count the time for at least ten times of back and forth.Divide total time by number of back and forth to get T. Use pendulum formula to calculate g.

T=2 pi sqroot (L/g)

I hope you get it.

use the formula s=vt+1/2a(t^2)

s=displacement you measured
v=final velocity (displacement / time)
t=time measured with stopwatch
a=acceleration

when an object is free falling, the acceleration of the object equals to the gravitational force acting on the object. therefore (a = g) you would find out that the a is 9.81 ms/2.

Being traumatised maximum probable as rape victims are.. Hoping to do the perfect element and bypass to the police yet do no longer understand.. might probable want councelling.. might bypass by using numerous thoughts if i found out that i became pregant.. might decide to appreciate if I hazve HIV.. might get try executed. might want solid acquaintances and can tell my kin of course and that i might have moments while i might hate the toddler.. because of the fact i did no longer coceive this toddler from somebody i like and not by using lovemaking even nonetheless it became compelled on me by using an act of violence and humiliation.. yet interior the tip i might shop the youngster if i might desire to.. i think it would be an element of me and if i might desire to i would not supply it up for adoption and that i would not tell my newborn that it became ''born by using an act of violence'' i assume i might say.. it became purely a very short relationship with the father.. because of the fact i would not want that youngster to develop up believing I hate the youngster.. and that i might do my ultimate i might wish to instill in that youngster all valuable values.. each little thing that's solid.. because of the fact i think no newborn is born evil and that i think if I did the perfect element the youngster might prove a solid individual and sooner or later i could be proud to be his or her mom.. inspite of the horror how he or she became conceived... xxx it fairly is how i'm hoping i might react yet purely a individual who has walked in those shoes and has experienced all this might supply you a suitable answer.. somebody to whom this actually occurred and what they did... you will purely wish what one might do if one has no longer been trough this trauma.. so i'm hoping i might try this with out understanding for specific.. xx i'm hoping so and that i actually do have self assurance no person is born evil xx

its possible to measure gravity within a small amount of error using a pendulum.

You should learn to spell before you try physzics class.
