Physics Course
This course teaches students how to accurately measure the acceleration due to gravity (g) using various experimental methods, including pendulums, free-fall, and inclined planes. Participants will gain practical skills in experimental design, data analysis, error management, and applying these concepts to real-world applications in physics and engineering.

What will I learn?
Master precise measurement of g through hands-on experiments with pendulums, free-fall, and inclined planes. Learn to set up reliable experiments, choose the right method for your situation, and use key equations for timing, motion, and acceleration. Develop solid skills in managing data, analysing uncertainties, and minimising errors that apply directly to navigation, sensing, imaging, and underground studies.
Elevify advantages
