PHY 101L Module One Lab Report Measurements and Uncertainty Name: Thomas Hubert Date: 08/18/2023 Complete this lab report by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Data Data Table 1: Determination of Uncertainty in Lab Balance Trial Washer #1 Mass (g) Washer #1 Deviation from Average (g) Washer #2 Mass (g) Washer #2 Deviation from Average (g) 1 24.9 0.14 25.2 0.04 2 25.1 -0.06 25.3 -0.06 3 25.0 0.04 25.2 0.04 4 25.1 -0.06 25.3 -0.06 5 25.1 -0.06 25.2 0.04 Average 25.04 25.24 1. Suppose you continued Activity 1 using a third washer of the same type. Would you expect the average deviation from the average mass to be the same or different? Explain your answer. The average deviation from the average mass will probably be the same if I used a third washer of the same type. Both washers seem to deviate either 0.04 or -0.06, which is relatively consistent. So, another washer would probably have similar properties. This is because the washers are all the same type and most likely have similar masses.
Data Table 2: Determination of Uncertainty in Common Glassware 250 mL Graduated Cylinder 250 mL Beaker Mass of empty glassware 20.7 g 44.6 g Volume of water 50 mL 50 mL High volume interval 51 mL 52 mL Low volume interval 48 mL 50 mL Average volume 49.5 mL 51 mL Uncertainty [Insert text.] [Insert text.] Mass of glassware with water 72.7 96.3 g Mass of water 52 g 51.7 2. Which piece of glassware has the highest degree of precision? Why? The graduated cylinder has the highest degree of precision because the lines are measured in increments of 5 mL instead of 10 mL, like the beaker.
Data Table 3: Determination of Accuracy in Common Glassware 250 mL Graduated Cylinder 250 mL Beaker Current water temperature 26.8 C 26.6 C Density of water at room temperature 0.9966 g/mL 0.9966 g/mL Calculated mass of water 49.83 g 49.83 g Mass of water in Activity 2 52 g 51.7 g Calculated percent difference 1.04% 1.03 % 3. Which piece of glassware has the highest degree of accuracy? Why? The beaker has the highest degree of accuracy because the calculated percent difference is lower (1.03%) than the graduated cylinder (1.04%)
