What are various acceleration experiments; what instruments do scientists use to measure acc. due to gravity?
if you ask about an experiment devoted to the measurement of the gravitational acceleration (and gravitational force associated with it) i would mention at the first place: “The Atwood machine (or Atwood’s machine) was invented in 1784 by Rev. George Atwood as a laboratory experiment to verify the mechanical laws of uniformly accelerated motion. Atwood’s machine is a common classroom demonstration used to illustrate principles of physics, specifically mechanics.” in the case of not very sophisticated experiments meter sticks and clocks are adequate tools.
