The instruments used were very ____, since the stopwatch could measure to 0.01s and the ruler to 1mm. The data had high precision as the measured times at each height were ____ together. The line of best fit showed ____ precision as some data points were not on the line, but were close to it. Calculating gravity g using the slope gave a result of 6.5 m/s^2, which is very ____ , with 34 % error. The experiment is ____ since multiple trials were taken and each set of trials showed high ____. Several different objects were dropped so the results are not ____. The large error also indicates the experiment is ____. One major ____ is not accounting for drag, which will increase the time to fall, reducing the calculated value of gravity. Some random ____ would be not controlling the initial speed and not dropping from exactly the right height. Improvements that could be made include using ____ object for all trials, using a robotic release mechanism to ensure the initial speed is zero, and performing the experiment in a vacuum.
