      set the air track to two different heights, corresponding to two different angles. Four measurements were made for each angle of inclination. The uncertainty in the measurement of track elevation and track length was 0.001 meters (as measured with a mm scale meter stick.) Trial Height (meters) Acceleration (m/s2) 1 2 3 4

      Where g = gravitational acceleration h = incline height L = length of the air track It is clear that a plot of acceleration vs. h/L should give a straight line with slope "g". The data from the experiment (Table 3) was plotted in order to compare the experimental values to equation 3 (Graph 1) d v a 2 2 = L h a g a g …

      percent difference is more than 10%, there is likely something wrong with your experiment and you should figure out what the problem is and take new data. 4. Measuring Precision Precision is measured using two different methods, depending on the type of measurement you are making. These methods are described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2. There are ...

      ACCELERATION ON AN AIR TRACK Theory: If a mass sliding on a frictionless surface is connected to a hanging mass by a string passing over a pulley, the motion of the two masses is described by the following two equations: T = m 1a and m 2g - T= m 2a Where m 1 is the sliding mass and m 2 is the hanging mass. From these equations, you can determine the acceleration of the masses and the …

      1. Limited accuracy of the measuring apparatus - e.g., the force sensors that we use in experiment M2 cannot determine applied force with a better accuracy than ±0.05 N. 2. Limitations and simplifications of the experimental procedure - e.g., we commonly assume that there is no air friction if objects are not moving fast. Strictly speaking, that

      Jan 09, 2015 · 1 dyne = 1 g cm/s2 In this experiment a low friction air track will be used to test the validity of Newton’s Second Law. A hanging mass will be attached to a glider placed on the air track by means of a light (negligible mass) string. By varying the amount of mass that is hanging we will vary the net force acting on this two body system.

      Leveling Air-track It is essential for the whole experiment to level the air-track carefully before performing your measurements Use the following procedure: 1. Turn on air and place the rider on the air-track 2. Adjust the feet of the track until the air-track doesn’t move on its own anymore 3. Check for different positions of the rider
