In an experiment to determine the acceleration due to gravity, one student drops a tennis ball out of the school’s third floor window. Another student starts a timer when the first student lets go and stops the timer when the ball hits the ground. They conduct the experiment once and record the data. Is this a valid experiment, why or why not?

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by  mathematical calculations  before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of  uranus  led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to   spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.
