Physics Lab 1 Quiz 4

This document summarizes a physics lab quiz covering principles of free fall and pendulums. The quiz contains 6 multiple choice questions testing knowledge of the following key points: 1) The value of g is the same at different places on Earth. 2) g decreases with altitude and due to Earth's rotation. 3) Galileo argued mass and size do not influence acceleration due to gravity. 4) The correct equation for the period of a simple pendulum is 2*pi*sqrt(L/g) where L is the length. 5) The appropriate angle range for a simple pendulum is 0 to 10 degrees.
