This is one of the questions on my college intro. to physics course lab.
use the shortest time(or shortest average time) to calculate the height of the drop point from the ground, Explain the choice of time to calculate the height of the drop
*object dropped was a football.
1/2gt^2
1/2 (9.8m/s^2)(0.76s)^2
=2.83024m
I don't know if I am headed in the right direction with this problem any input would be appreciated, although I have to point out that logically the height is approximately 5 or so meters could this be a miscalculation ?
