Hello everyone. So this is my first post in this blog. I am planning to upload my notes for classes that I am taking at university this semester. I hope it may be helpful for some of you.
• There was a graph where we need to find the acceleration. How to find it? We take two points at the graph between velocity and time, then use the rule: acceleration = velocity / time.
• Mention some errors that could happen and how to reduce them.Random errors:-Not adjusting ( the height of ) the photo gate properly.- observational errors.- Not adjusting the smart timer. ( I think? When you do not change the number of the photo gate in the smart timer, for example)Systematic errors:- From the smart timer itself.- From the sensor ( that is on the photo gate ) itself. If it did not record.
• For the percentage error for the instantaneous velocity
Percentage error = | ( theoretical - experimental ) / ( theoretical ) | * 100
• Do the average velocity and the instantaneous velocity mean the same thing? Why not? For the percentage error for the instantaneous velocity
• Is there any acceleration in the third table above? Explain your answer.
• What is acceleration? ( The definition )
Acceleration : the rate of change of time of velocity.
( a = Δv / Δ t )
• Mention some things we can not use the smart timer for. How many photo gate you will use in the experiment? For the first part of the experiment, you will use two photo gates. But for the second and third parts of the experiment, you will use photo gate only.
• How many photo gate you will use in the experiment? For the first part of the experiment, you will use two photo gates. But for the second and third parts of the experiment, you will use photo gate only.
• In this experiment, what kind of errors we may face.Random and systematic errors. Mention some things we can not use the smart timer for
And that's it for this experiment. If I wrote something wrong, just correct me please. And good luck everyone!
