LAB REPORT Measurement of a table
Lab 1- Measurements of a Table
ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this experiment was to determine the value of the acceleration of a free falling object and to describe the range of experimental values. Within the experiment the items used to help provide the conclusion that 2/3 or our values fell within the 9.62m/s^2- 9.78m/s^2 range was a Vernier data-collection interface, Logger Pro Application and the apparatus Photogate. The results found within the 30 trial periods were all precise. It was believed that the data would not be exact to the actual acceleration of gravity but would be precise with a low percentage of error, the results showed to be true to what was expected.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the mean value, the standard deviation of the mean and significant figures through measured values. Also to gain an understanding of propagation of errors while enhancing knowledge of precision and accuracy.
PROCEDURE:
Within the lab a 20cm wooden cylinder is provided to measure the length and then the width of the lab table. The group was to measure the length and the width of the table a total of twenty times; with a group a four each individual measured the table length and width a total of five times each. Once all measurements are calculated, the provided values were entered into the system LoggerPro for visual analysis of the data.
