Not as Easy as Pi!!!!

  • Day 44
  • People this is a rare opportunity.  We have limited time to do most of the activities in class.   And never time to do them a again!  So use what you have learned to make the experiment and your measurements better.  Don't forget about bob!  "What about bob" affected the lab?
  •  During my abscence
  • What is the meaning of your slope?
  • What is the significance to physics?
  • Calculate the value of g.
  • Calculate your % error. (using g=980 cm/s/s or 9.8m/s/s)

  • If your value of is greater than 10% error.
  • Pinpoint  and state the issue in the lab ( ok to make mistakes as long as you learn from them)
    • This is a critical skill to figure out what went wrong and why?

Fix the glitch in the lab and repeat the experiment to improve upon the error.
Keep track of the changes made to the procedure.

All labs are capable of yielding 2% error or less.

Final Lab
  •  Parent Graph
  • Daughter Graph (with graphical analysis) 
    • slope units
    • equation of the line
    • value of g
    • % error

  1. We were in the cafeteria yesterday and will be there today. What do you want us to do about the lab??

  2. Sorry sent a reply earlier it did not post... the lab does not require the classroom only a ruler and your phone... so it should not have been an issue....

  3. If you did not redo the lab. Then just turn in the previous version.
