Gave (m/s2) = 10,45 m/s² Relative Error = %6,5
Calculations:
• sinθ = h / L
• Tave = t1 + t2 + t3 + t4 + t5 / 5
• 𝑥 = 𝑥0+ 𝑣0t + 1/2 𝑎𝑡²
• a = g.sinθ
• Gave = g1 + g2 + g3 / 3
• Relative Error (%) = | (greal – gexperimental ) / greal | 𝑥 100
Evaluations:
When we measure the displacement we don’t add the car’s length,
because if we did we wouldn’t find the right value.
We measure time by using a stopwatch for each time we do the
experiment, we don’t do it once because we’d get an inaccurate result,
so we measure it for each time we do the experiment to get a more
accurate result.
Or experiment is a non-uniform linear motion and acceleration and the
acceleration is constant, because of that we use these equations:
• 𝑣 = 𝑣0 + 𝑎𝑡 ,
• 𝑥 = 𝑥0 + v0t + 1 / 2 𝑎𝑡²
Questions:
1.
Experimental Errors:
Measuring the time and letting the car go at the same time may be
difficult to do, therefore we may make a mistake, and if we do, the
whole experiment will be false, so we measure the time five times to
find a more accurate value.
