Writeup of First Lab (Measurement)

Write up of First Lab:

1) Write-up in your lab notebook on measurement of acceleration due to gravity from motion detector.

• What did you measure
• How did you measure it
• What were your results?

2) Write-up in your lab notebook on measurement of acceleration due to gravity from Video Analysis.

• What did you measure
• How did you measure it
• What were your results?

3) Write-up in your lab notebook on measurement variability.

• Find the % difference between the results of the two experiments.
• Discuss sources of error for each experiment
• Estimate the uncertainty for each of the measurements
• Do the measurements agree within your estimated uncertainty?
• Which of the measurements is more useful and why?

Emphasis should be on Analysis NOT Procedure! (Procedure should be quick one or two sentences that describe the general outlines of the experiment)
