8. From p calculate g. (To do this, replace py with p2; in the final equation listed) 9. Repeat and calculate g from p:; and from psz and the average of the three p’s. 10. Calculate the error in the g from p 25, p 31, and p 32, and the average g. 11. Calculate the average p from py, p2, and ps (calculations including a), ax, and as). 12. Calculate the average p from 2, psi, and paz (calculations including Ry, Ray, and Ra). 13. Compare pu values and g values. Calculations and Results Attached below. Sources of Error Some sources of error I found in this experiment could have been that some of the calculations were performed incorrectly and inaccurately. The computer software could have created some error as we had some trouble trying to create the graph the first few times during the experiment. We may have also had some inaccurate measurements when using the caliper. Conclusions In conclusion, the relationship between the angle and normal force was found to be that if the incline increased, the acceleration of the PasCar increased also. Two values of g were calculated and were around the accepted value of 9.8 m/s” and the percent error was calculated to be 29%. Data Sheet Attached Below
