Methods used to calculate “g”
• Wireless dynamic sensor system (WDSS);
• Position sensor;
• Curve fitting.

The Wireless Dynamcs Sensor System allows you to take data from a three-axis
accelerometer, a force sensor, and an altimeter, using a Bluetooth wireless
connections to your computer. It is the perfect tool for dozens of physics and
physical sciences experiments. We used it to measure the gravitational acceleration.

WDSS specifications:• Dimensions: 12.1 cm x 5.3 cm x 3.9 cm• Mass: about 200 g depending on battery
type used and attachments
Accelerometers• Range: -60 to +60 m/s2
• Accuracy: +/- 0.5 m/s2 (+/- 0.05 g)

Experiment description
The experiment consists in dropping
the WDSS from about 2.20 meters in a box to
reduce the impact. The WDSS measures
automatically the acceleration. Then we
connect it to the computer which
process the data.

Position sensor
The position sensor uses
ultrasound to study the body motion.It reports only the
position of the nearest object
which produces the most intense echo.

Curve fitting
We dropped a ball from a given height and we filmed it. Then we used a software
(Logger Pro) which draws the position of the ball on a graph frame by frame and
processes speed, time and position related to the given height.

Using the curve fitting, the process of constructing a curve, or mathematical
function, that has the best fit to a series of data points, we calculated the best approximation of the gravitational
acceleration.

Conclusions
To sum up:
In all three methods the results are approximately similar to the standard
value of “g” (9,81m/s2). The errors in the last experiments are due to the material of
the ball (sponge) because of the friction with the air.
