Write up of First Lab:

1) Write-up in your lab notebook on measurement of acceleration due to gravity from motion detector.

  • What did you measure
  • How did you measure it
  • What were your results?

2) Write-up in your lab notebook on measurement of acceleration due to gravity from Video Analysis.

  • What did you measure
  • How did you measure it
  • What were your results?

3) Write-up in your lab notebook on measurement variability.

  • Find the % difference between the results of the two experiments.
  • Discuss sources of error for each experiment
