Question 10) The velocity v=d/t . Assume that the error of the time t is negigible (i.e. 1/t is a constant factor for the purpose of error calculation). Given Deltad , the absolute error of the distance d in the figure above, give the expression of the relative error Deltav/v (Use equation (3) of "Error and Uncertainty". Use Deltad for ). Then convert to the expression for the absolute error Deltav (Use :equation (4) of "Error and Uncertainty".)

actually i figured it out, its (Deltad/d)*v

I can't seem to get the units for N and deltah/h, can you help?

also how to do 16)? delta Ke for vn and v1?

Lab Report #4 Empty Reponse and a Question

Post  Guest24 Tue Oct 14, 2008 12:39 pm

For both of those units the answer is "none", because they are unitless.
I have a question also, I was wondering if anyone knew how to find Delta KE and Delta PE...If so a response is greatly appreciated.

Lab Report #4 Empty how do u get Q4?

Post  guest12 Tue Oct 14, 2008 1:48 pm

Enter the expression for the change of the potential energy (see Ch 6 Sheet 12) for the combination of the two Masses M and m when the small mass drops a distance h.(Consider the correct sign of PE!)

Use the lab manual, it ask for change PE in terms of m and h--so use the error manual equation (7)

Lab Report #4 Empty Number 1 & 4

Post  Question Tue Oct 14, 2008 5:44 pm

For question 1, 4... its keeps asking for the masses combined based on the equations given in our lecture... I'm been playing around with it, but its not making sense:

KE=1/2mv^2 do they mean KE=1/2(m1+m2)v^2??

PLEASE HELP... im sinking

13.) sqrt((Deltam/m)^2+(Deltah/h)^2) * PE
14.) 2*(Deltav_n/v_n
15.) 2*Deltad/d

Does anyone know! 18,19,20

Question 1: that is exactly what they are asking for. If we go back to the two masses attached by a string over a pulley, we consider the weight of both of them. It is not represented here as m1 and m2, but rather m and M. Remember for 1/2 to either consider it by itself, by enclosing it in parenthesis or to represent it as a decimal.

Question 4: I am having trouble with this one as well, I know the answer, but I do not know how they want it expressed. If PE=mgh and we want to represent the change of it, all we need to do is calculate the change in height, since the height is relative to the PE. This is shown by h1+h0. I believe here is where I'm getting it wrong. I do not know exactly how they want it represented, since you can just call h, "h" or "h initial", "h2-h1". We have to also realize that just as our m in the KE includes both the m and M, so will the m for our PE.

Question 8: These should be values obtained from the experiment. Perhaps you have done the lab, I have not so I am not certain as of yet, but it does seem to have to be a calculated value from the experiment.

Question 9:
Part I: This should look like something similar to our PE from Question 4. Again I do not know what value of h they want entered, but I believe this should look either like something h5-h1 or hn-h1. This should also be multiplied by d.
Part II: They are really asking for the relative error of d. It is found using Equation 3 from Error and Uncertainty. It looks exactly like the relative error of h just with d and the answer is in fact given right there in the question; just write it out in MapleTA syntax.

Question 13: This is the error for PE found using Equation 7 from Error and Uncertainty. Instead of using A and B we are using m and h. Because really the A and B values are just variables, they do not stand for any particular unit called A or B but instead interchangeable with the values and units we currently have. Equation 6 and Equation 7 differ ever so slightly by the fact that (6) is equal to the error, represented by ΔS[i], (7) is the equal to the relative error, not just the error, this is represented by [i]ΔS/S. We know the value of S and are finding it's error ΔS. work it out algebraically so that you are just finding the error (ΔS), not the relative error (ΔS/S). Write both equations out, or look at them and it may make a bit more sense then in your head.

Question 24, 25: These will be calculated values obtained from your experiment. I do not know if you have had lab yet, I have not, but will tomorrow (Wednesday) and will not be able to have the values worked out until tomorrow night or Thursday.

The rest I have not done yet.

Lab Report #4 Empty LAB 4 - ANSWER TO #4

Post  phygirl Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:15 pm

I was having a ton of trouble with number 4 myself and then I realized the mistake... you have to include the sign of mgh. Which is negative. We do not need to alter the equation at all, just plig in the sign.

4.) -(m)*(g)*(h)

YAY!!!

Lab Report #4 Empty GRAPH

Post  GUESTT Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:38 pm

Seeing as how the PE's are negative are we graphing them as being in the negative y-axis???

Post  lanthony Tue Oct 14, 2008 8:46 pm

Does anyone have any insight or help they could offer with 19/20?

I am completely lost on these errors, getting from v^2 to the KE changes between n and 2.

I have the answer to 19 and 20.

First, how does the graph work, since the PE is negative?

the pe is decreasing so you will have a negative graph going across

Ok, but how will it be placed on the y axis? In other words, are you saying as the KE increases, the PE decreases? Do we treat the PE as positive? Just putting a negative sign?

your just going to label the yaxis with negative numbers, yes as the PE decreases, the KE increases

it would be done under the x-axis so all of your y's are negatve. quadrant 3/4 in a graph.

make sense?

I think you mean quadrant 4, where, if you were the draw the 4 quadrant graph, it would be the bottom right one, where only y is negative, and x is positive?

In that case, it makes sense to label the x (KE) number on the top of the graph right?
