Drag this vertical line to the right edge of the graph (the last point on the graph) and note the position value displayed at that time. Switch back to Microsoft Word and answer the next question in your lab report: Q5: How far from your starting position did you stop the cart? Make sure to include appropriate units in your answer. Switch back to Graphical Analysis and remove the vertical line by tapping on the X at the top of the line. Now tap on the Graph Menu button (it looks like a graph) in the bottom left corner of the screen. This will bring up the Graph Menu as shown at the left. Tap on “View Statistics” and the software will display a box on the graph that shows View Statistics statistical information about the data in the graph. Take a screenshot by holding ' down the iPad Power button and pressing the iPad Home button at the same Interpolate Tangent Position G (n) View In:egral . . A . . . time. The iPad will make a sound of a camera taking a picture and you will see Apply Curve Fit your screenshot appear temporarily in the bottom left corner of your screen. Add Annotation Switch back to Microsoft Word and use the Insert menu to insert the screenshot into your lab report. You will have to navigate to the screenshot, which will be stored in the same place as other photos on the iPad (though it may also appear || Add Graph Match in a special subset for screenshots). Once the screenshot has been inserted into Edit Graph Options your lab report, answer the following questions: Add Prediction Q6: What is the maximum position the cart reached, and at what time did the cart reach that position? Make sure to include appropriate units in your answer. Q7: What was the average position of the cart during the experiment? Again, include correct units. Sensor Resolution Now it is your turn to use what you have learned to answer a question that might be very important for a physicist using this sensor: what is the smallest distance the sensor can measure? This is known as the resolution of the sensor. Q8: Why might it be important to know the resolution of a sensor? Now come up with an experiment or procedure to find the resolution. There is more than one way to go about it! Q9: What is the resolution of the position sensor, and what did you do to figure it out? Describe your procedure in enough detail that someone else could repeat it to verify your result. Sensor Calibration When using a sensor, it is often important to measure or verify how accurate the sensor is. For our position sensor, this might take the form of a question: how close is the agreement between our sensor and a meter stick? Design an experiment to test this. You will need to obtain a track and possibly a PHYS2215 Automated Data Collection and Analysis Lab Page 8
