Does Elevation Affect the Force of Gravity?

CSEF · 2002 Physics & Astronomy

Parker O. Wood · Centerville Elementary School, Sanger

Overview

Objectives/Goals The Purpose of science project was to see if the force of gravity could be tested and see a measure able difference in the force of gravity. Methods/Materials I traveled to 3 elevations 275,3990,7000. I timed and counted my pendulums occilations. Iused a Pendulum stopwach data sheet and thermomater Results There was about a 25 second difference in the force of gravity.Gravity decreased at higher elevations. Conclusions/Discussion My hypothesis was correct the force of gravity decreaces at higher elevations. Now, being finished with my project I have a better understanding of physics,gravity,and it's founders.

Summary statement

My project is about gravity.
