New cards

What should you avoid when designing experiments?

  • ‘Filler steps”

  • Ex. Collect Lab equipment/ retrieve notebook, etc

2
New cards

How should you graph points from an experiment?

  • Label vertical and horizontal axis (with units)

  • Scale the graph so that at least half of the graph is used

  • When drawing a line of best fit, have half of the data points above and below the line

3
New cards

How would you ‘reduce experimental uncertainty in an experiment?”

  • Mention performing multiple trials

  • change certain factors in experiments (initial height, vo, etc)

4
New cards

What is one place to start when designing an experiment?

Look at relevant equations on the equation sheet

5
New cards

What object(s) can you use to find acceleration (a)

  • speedometer and stopwatch (velocity/time)

  • Force probe and balance (F/m)

6
New cards

What object(s) can you use to find distance (d)

Meterstick

7
New cards

What object(s) can you use to find Kinetic Energy (Ke)

  • 1/2mv2

  • Balance (m0

  • speedometer (v)

  • Ruler/stopwatch (v = x/t)

8
New cards

What object(s) can you use to find Force (F)

  • Force probe

9
New cards

What object(s) can you use to find Impulse (J)

  • Force probe/stopwatch (F*t)

  • balance, speedometer (m(vf-vo))

  • balance, ruler, stopwatch (v = x/t)
