Question

So I had done a lab looking at free fall and g, in which we threw and dropped a basketball over a senser. The thing is when throwing the ball we had gotten a g value of 9.67 and when droping the ball we had gotten a g value of 9.51... they are both close to the actuall g value of 9.81 but I am wonderin what could be the causes of the difference in g values between throwing the ball STRIAGHT UP and droping the ball STRAIGHT DOWN.

I was thinking it may be due to rotation, but how would this affect the g? / what other factors would contribute to this difference seen?

Thank you so much, hope someone can help !!!

Explanation / Answer

rotation is also one of the reasons and air resistance is also one of the reasons

due to rotation pressure varies
