I couldn’t really understand how the point system worked out on the rubric document you gave

us but i think i got all of the points - anna

Mech:

a) m= mass of cart; measure with a balance ​+2 points

i) theta= ramp incline; measured with a protractor
ii) k= spring constant; known previously so no need to measure
iii) delta(x) = displacement in meters from the "start" of the spring; measured with a
meter stick
iv) M = mass of cart and weights added on
b) Measure all measurements indicated in part. Repeat multiple trails with different weights
on the cart and record such values (angle, stretch length, mass for each trial) a). set
mgsin(theta)= k delta(x) to g= k delta(x)/(msin(theta)) ​+4 points
c) you could put the delta(x) on the y axis and the mass on the x axis. the slope of that
graph would indicate the value g which is the acceleration due to gravity. ​+1 points
d) the slope of that graph, the graph in part c), would indicate the the value g which is the
acceleration due to gravity g= (k)/(sin(T)) ​+2 points
e) g= (k/(sin(T))but in this case plug in a number at any point on the graph to reverse
calculated the mass m stemming from the period of oscillation equation ​+1 points

E&M:

a) Voltage across the resistor with a voltmeter ​+2 points

i) Emf of the battery with the same voltmeter
ii) Resistance of the resistor with a resistance meter
b) Start off my measuring the voltage difference across the resistor as well as that of the
battery. Change the resistor to a new one and similarly measure the voltage difference
across it. Record the values and repeat the previous with multiple different resistor
values. ​+3 points
c) 1/delta(V) and 1/R ​+1 points
d) Graphing 1/delta(V) and 1/R would be linear and the slope is the internal resistance of
the battery (r/emf) ​+2 points
e) It would have to be lower because the resistances will add up to have a larger net
resistance in the circuit ​+2 points
