What is kinematics?? Analysing the motion of an object (without caring about what causes the motion). Why would $10.1 \pm 0.5ms^{-2}$ be an acceptable value for $g$?? Because the actual value of $g$ is $9.81ms^{-2}$, so the result is within the range of uncertainty. What did Galileo predict about the motion of a falling object?? That its acceleration is uniform. What is the equation for the velocity of a falling object?? $$ v = at $$
