Today my dad was trimming our hibiscus bush in our backyard. As he cut the branches off the bush, he tossed them to the ground. Seeing the branches fall got me thinking about the acceleration of gravity. The acceleration of gravity is always –9.8 m/s2. When my dad released the branch from his hand, the branch accelerated at –9.8m/s2 until it hit the ground. I also watched my dad throw multiple branches of different sizes and they fell to the ground at the same time because they have the same acceleration. I did not know that I could find physics in my backyard.
