Finishing the Lab

Today, we started off by reviewing how to do the lab, more specifically, how to curve fit in the LabQuests, and rewriting the percent error formula.

We finished the lab from the previous two days, Cart on a Ramp!, by finishing any last information on Section I and moving on to section II.

Section II consisted of:

  • re-rolling the cart so it bounced 3 or more times
  • recording information and drawing the graphs for the roll
  • Interpreting information such as slope and curve fitting to find if rolling sections were consistent.
My group found that it was indeed consistent, most likely due to gravity being a constant.

Next is Zach
