Calculate the slope of the "distance vs time squared" graph on the graph page itself. How does the value compare to the value for the acceleration found in calculation 2?


The value of g will be greater than the value obtained in the experiment. The
acceleration a in Eq. 5.2 in the Laboratory Guide will be greater because the value d
will be greater if an initial velocity is given to the glider.
