Secondary Research- Game Physics

To measure the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.8 meter per second squared here on earth, we took the height of a clone trooper (1.83 meters) and found a ledge that was two and a half clones high. We then measured how long it took to fall to the ground several times and recorded the average time, which was 0.68 seconds where on earth it would be 0.46 seconds. Using that information we calculated that they accelerated at 6.2 meters per second squared. We know that the planets might have slightly different gravities due to the planet size, however we tested it on other planets and got the same results, meaning that Lucas arts made a uniform gravity for planets of varying sizes, contradicting the laws of gravity.
