table 1

From the given measurements, we can observe the following analysis regarding the relationship
between the varying hover puck mass and the experimental value of acceleration:

Hover Puck Mass: 0.10 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 6.1511 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 6.533 m/s^2

% Error: 5.85%

The experimental value of acceleration is slightly lower than the accepted value, indicating a negative
percentage error. However, the magnitude of the error is relatively small, suggesting a reasonably
accurate measurement.

Hover Puck Mass: 0.20 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 4.6891 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 4.9000 m/s^2

% Error: 0.043%

The experimental value of acceleration is very close to the accepted value, with a negligible percentage
error. This indicates a highly accurate measurement.

Hover Puck Mass: 0.30 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 4.0694 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 3.9200 m/s^2

% Error: -3.81%

The experimental value of acceleration is slightly higher than the accepted value, resulting in a negative
percentage error. However, the magnitude of the error is relatively small, indicating a reasonably
accurate measurement.

Hover Puck Mass: 0.40 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 3.0820 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 3.2667 m/s^2

% Error: 5.65%

The experimental value of acceleration is slightly lower than the accepted value, resulting in a positive
percentage error. The magnitude of the error suggests a relatively accurate measurement, although not
as precise as some other cases.

Hover Puck Mass: 0.50 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 2.7074 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 2.8000 m/s^2

% Error: 3.31%

The experimental value of acceleration is slightly lower than the accepted value, resulting in a positive
percentage error. The magnitude of the error suggests a relatively accurate measurement, although not
as precise as the second case.

Overall, the measurements show a general trend where the experimental values of acceleration tend to
be slightly lower than the accepted values, with the percentage errors mostly ranging from around -4%
to 6%. The measurements for the 0.20 kg hover puck mass demonstrate the highest level of accuracy,
with a negligible percentage error.

ESSAY FORM

In the Newton's Law Lab with Photogates, an analysis was conducted to examine the relationship
between the varying hover puck mass and the experimental value of acceleration. The measurements
obtained from the experiment indicate a consistent trend. The experimental values of acceleration for
different hover puck masses were compared to the accepted values, revealing slight deviations.

The experiment yielded experimental values of acceleration that generally showed a slight
underestimation compared to the accepted values. For the hover puck mass of 0.10 kg, the experimental
value of acceleration was 6.1511 m/s^2, with a percentage error of 5.85%. Similarly, the measurements
for the hover puck masses of 0.40 kg and 0.50 kg showed percentage errors of 5.65% and 3.31%,
respectively.

However, the experiment also produced highly accurate results in some cases. Notably, the
measurements for the hover puck mass of 0.20 kg demonstrated exceptional accuracy, with an
experimental value of acceleration of 4.6891 m/s^2 and a negligible percentage error of 0.043%.
Additionally, for the hover puck mass of 0.30 kg, the experimental value of acceleration was 4.0694
m/s^2, with a slightly negative percentage error of -3.81%. Overall, the measurements highlight a
consistent trend of slightly lower experimental values of acceleration compared to the accepted values.

Based on the given measurements from the Newton's Law Lab with Photogates, we can analyze the
relationship between the varying hanging mass and the experimental value of acceleration. Let's
examine the data:

Hanging Mass: 0.10 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 3.0304 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 3.2667 m/s^2

% Error: 7.23%

Hanging Mass: 0.20 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 4.6772 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 4.9000 m/s^2

% Error: 4.55%

Hanging Mass: 0.30 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 5.6315 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 5.8800 m/s^2

% Error: 4.23%

Hanging Mass: 0.40 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 6.1771 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 6.5333 m/s^2

% Error: 5.45%
Hanging Mass: 0.50 kg

Experimental Value of Acceleration: 7.0743 m/s^2

Accepted Value of Acceleration: 7.0000 m/s^2

% Error: -1.06%

Analysis:

The experimental values of acceleration generally increase as the hanging mass increases. This suggests
a direct relationship between the two variables. The percent error indicates the deviation of the
experimental values from the accepted values. Positive values indicate overestimation, while negative
values indicate underestimation. For the hanging masses of 0.10 kg, 0.20 kg, 0.30 kg, and 0.40 kg, the
percent errors range from 4.23% to 7.23%. These values suggest some level of discrepancy between the
experimental and accepted values. Interestingly, for the hanging mass of 0.50 kg, the percent error is -
1.06%, indicating that the experimental value slightly underestimates the accepted value. Overall, the
measurements exhibit a trend of increasing experimental values of acceleration with increasing hanging
mass, but with some variation and deviation from the accepted values.

ESSAY FORM

Based on the given measurements from the Newton's Law Lab with Photogates, we observe a
relationship between the varying hanging mass and the experimental value of acceleration. The data
shows that as the hanging mass increases, the experimental value of acceleration generally increases as
well, indicating a direct relationship between the two variables. However, there is some variation and
deviation from the accepted values, as seen in the percent errors ranging from 4.23% to 7.23%. These
percent errors suggest a level of discrepancy between the experimental and accepted values, indicating
potential limitations or errors in the experimental setup or measurements.

It is worth noting that for the hanging mass of 0.50 kg, the percent error is -1.06%, indicating a
slight underestimation of the accepted value. Overall, while the measurements demonstrate a trend of
increasing acceleration with increasing hanging mass, further investigation or additional data points may
be necessary to obtain more conclusive and accurate results. These shows the importance of careful
experimental procedures and precise measurements in accurately determining the relationship between
hanging mass and acceleration.
