#code to measure acceleration due to gravity by dropping a ball from head Can be done on phones too
import time
n=3
S=5.5*.3
for i in range(10):
a=input() #Press just before dropping after putting ball near head
start=time.time()
b=input() #Press random key just after it hits ground
stop=time.time()
falltime=stop-start
g= 2*S/falltime**2
print('h=5.5 ft Time = ',round(falltime,2),' s ' ,round(g,2), ' m/s^2')
'''
Can make apps, excel sheets etc
old Time = 0.3962876796722412 s g= 21.01322925251021
h=5.5 ft Time = 0.47 s 15.14 m/s^2 tennis ball
h=5.5 ft Time = 0.47 s 14.96 m/s^2 football
Next improvement is to add data analysis on 10 drops.
Will upload in Github as Gravitytimer.py hope to get 1 million follows
There are amazing projects like LIGO
