A meter stick is held vertically above your hand, with the lower end between your thumb and first finger. On seeing the meter stick released, you grab it with these two fingers. You can calculate your reaction time from the distance the meter stick falls, read directly from the point where your fingers grabbed it.

surface, denoted by “g”. In this imaginary experiment, you have measured g three times. The values you obtain are: g1 = 10.2 meters per second squared (m/s2) g2 = 10.4 m/s2 g3 = 10.0 m/s2 To find the Average Value of g, denoted by gav, simple add up the experimental values and divide by the number of experimental values you have: g1 + g2 + g3 10.2 + 10.4 + 10 gav = __________ = ____________ = 10.2 m/s2 . 3 3 Percent Error (PE) To find the Percent Error (PE), you compare the average experimental value to the standard or handbook value of the physical quantity you are measuring. The Standard Value of gravitational acceleration at Earth’s surface , gst, is 9.8 m/s2. Mathematically, PE is defined as: (Average - Standard)…
