Question: Data for total mass changes , net force constant : Mass difference: m 2 - m 1 = _ _ _ _ _ kg Net

  1. Data for total mass changes, net force constant:

Mass difference:m2- m1=_ _ _ _ _ kg Net force:Fnet = (m2- m1)g=_ _ _ _ _ N

m1(g) m2 (g)

am (m/s2)

measured

50 60 13.36
70 80 10.27
90 100 17.65
110 120 13.20
130 140 28.00

B) Calculate the total mass and the acceleration (use g=9.8 m/s2):

m1(kg) m2 (kg) mT (kg)

ac (m/s2)

calculated

am (m/s2)

measured

% error (amvs. ac)
0.05 0.06 0.11
0.07 0.08 0.15
0.09 0.10 0.19
0.11 0.12 0.23
0.13 0.14 0.27

B) In Excel, Plot am (y axis)vs1/mT(x axis). Your graph should be scatter plots without line that connect the data points. Include the trendline and the trendline equation

Follow the rules for your plot:

Your graph should fill up a whole page, start your X and Y axis closer to the data points to eliminate the empty space in your graph. Edit the best fit line (trend line) equation to change Y and X to what you plot on Y and X axis, to match your plot.

D)What is the physical meaning of the slope? Discuss.

Slope=_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (Do not forget the units)

E)Calculate the % error between measured and calculated value.
