Experimental setup for measuring fall time as a function of height.
Experimental setup for measuring fall time as a function of height.
A student performs an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity, \(g\), by dropping a small metal sphere from rest. The sphere is released from various heights, \(h\), and the time, \(t\), it takes to fall to the floor is measured using an electronic timer. The student intends to create a linear graph of the data such that the slope of the best-fit line is exactly equal to \(g\). Which of the following correctly identifies the quantities that should be plotted on the vertical and horizontal axes?
