    Introduction to Measurements & Error Analysis The Uncertainty of Measurements Some numerical statements are exact: Mary has 3 brothers‚ and 2 + 2 = 4. However‚ all measurements have some degree of uncertainty that may come from a variety of sources. The process of evaluating this uncertainty associated with a measurement result is often called uncertainty analysis or error analysis. The complete statement of a measured value should include an estimate of the level of confidence associated

    Acceleration from Gravity on an Incline I. Introduction: Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of a moving body. Galileo was the first person to actually experiment and examine the concept of acceleration back in the seventeenth century. Acceleration can be determined by calculating the gravity and an incline. An incline is slope that is deviated between horizontal and vertical positions. Gravity is the natural force of attraction towards the center of the earth. Because of this

    Determining g on an Incline Lab #1 Theory: During the early part of the seventeenth century‚ Galileo experimentally examined the concept of acceleration. One of his goals was to measure the acceleration due to gravity‚ or the acceleration of freely falling objects. Unfortunately‚ his timing devices were not precise enough to measure the free fall time directly. He decided to “dilute” gravity by using fluids‚ inclined planes‚ and pendulums. Galileo’s idea of diluting gravity using inclined planes

    in Lesson 1 is acceleration. An often confused quantity‚ acceleration has a meaning much different than the meaning associated with it by sports announcers and other individuals. The definition of acceleration is: Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity. Sports announcers will occasionally say that a person is accelerating if he/she is moving fast. Yet acceleration has nothing to

    ACCELERATION: Good afternoon everyone! Our group will discuss about acceleration. But before that‚ what is acceleration? Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity. People will occasionally say that a person is accelerating if he/she is moving fast. Yet acceleration has nothing to do with going fast. A person can be moving very fast and still not be accelerating. Acceleration

    Lab 1‚ problem 3: Motion Down an Incline Shaoren Yuan October 5‚ 2013 Physics 1301W‚ professor: Dr. Zudov‚ TA: David Abstract The processes of a cart rolling up and returning back along a track were recorded‚ and the processes (motion of the cart.) were described as equations. Also‚ we calculated the accelerations of every stage (aup‚ adown and ahighest). Then the relationship among aup‚ adown and ahighest was concluded. Finally‚ the acceleration was measured and was proved from data. Introduction

    Scientific question: How does the incline of a slope influence the acceleration of a cart when it travels down a wooden plank? Introduction: What is an incline plane? Commonly referred to as a ramp or a slope‚ an incline plane is an even surface that is titled at an angle. An object placed on the tilted surface will often slide down the surface‚ accelerating because of an unbalanced force. The rate at which an object travels down the slope is dependent upon how tilted the slope is; the greater

    relative to you‚ the car you pass has an acceleration a to the west. However‚ the driver of the other car is maintaining a constant speed and direction relative to the road. Is the reference frame of your car an inertial one? If not‚ in which direction (east or west) is your car accelerating relative to the other car? Determine the Concept No. You are in a non-inertial frame that is accelerating to the east‚ opposite the other car’s apparent acceleration. 3 • [SSM] You are riding in a limousine that
