For Introductory Physics

Lab ran to the wire, so I thought I'd post the little bit of information I had on the board for those who needed more time to look at it. These are just some ideas for working on your lab write up. On Monday, have your completed lab packet and the lab write up completed and ready to go over. The format for the lab write-up is on the back of the first page of your syllabus packet.

Board Information:

Summary of Results

• Linear? Quadratic? - Type of plot for your data
• Increasing? Decreasing?
• Weight/penny?

Conclusions

• Importance of relationship between weight and penny number - what does it indicate about pennies?
• Why would this be important or how could it be used?
• Sources of error - any problems/limitations to influence results?
• Pre-1982/post-1982 values - What does this indicate about pennies from different eras and why might this be the case?
