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 like navigation and seismology.

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 most suitable method for your situation, and use key equations for timing, motion, and acceleration. Develop solid abilities in managing data, analysing uncertainties, and minimising errors, which apply directly to navigation, sensing, imaging, and underground studies.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Design precision setups: quickly assemble pendulum, free-fall, and inclined plane equipment.
- Apply motion theory: determine g from data on inclined planes, free-fall, and pendulums.
- Master error analysis: measure, spread, and document uncertainties in experiments.
