This is a very simple simulation using Interactive Physics. The ball is made to be the origin by entering x and y = 0 in the sphere properties. The displacement of the ball is then the distance moved. Without air resistance data from the simulation gives a very linear result with a value for g = 9.6 ms-2 The slight disagreement from expected is probably due to me rounding off displacement values. The intercept is...
