Accusation of Cheating in OWYYC

Prelim 5a discussion, speed of falling yoyo

This is how you calculate the distance that a free-falling object is travelling. I’m sure some of you remember this formula from physics class in school. [formula 1] d is the distance travelled, g is the gravitational acceleration which is 9,81ms/s^2 on earth and t the time that was spent falling. This formula is perfect for our case because the time is squared. That means that if an error was added to the time to make the time smaller, then the error will be squared too. I analyzed the aeri…
