Date Performed: 8/23/21, 4:00 PM Lab Participants: Justin Leopard Lab 1: Lab Reports Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to learn how to write lab reports. Procedure: There was no procedure for this lab. Data: The following data of cart displacement and time were provided: d t (cm) (sec) 1.1 2.0 2.0 4.0 2.4 5.0 2.9 6.0 4.1 8.0 The true value of the velocity was given as 0.60 cm/s. The mass of the cart was 200g. Graph: See attachment Calculations: slope ¿ rise run = y 2 y 1 x 2 x 1 = 3.7375 cm 1.2625 cm 7.5 s ¿ 2.5 s = 0.495 cm / s ¿ % error ¿ measured value ¿ correct value correct value × 100 = 0.495 cm / s 0.60 cm / s 0.60 cm / s × 100 =− 17.5% ¿ Results: The measured value of the cart velocity was ________0.495 cm/s ___________ The percent error of the cart velocity was _______-17.5% ____________ Sources of Error: N/A since we performed no procedure. 3 sources of error. Questions: N/A since no questions were given. Example Grading Rubric Report is complete and submitted on time 20%
Data collected was reasonable/not screwed up 30% 3 reasonable sources of error were listed 10% Data analysis and questions done/answered correctly 40% Notes on the graph Use as much of the sheet of graph paper as possible for the data points. Time (t) is on the x-axis, Distance (d) is on the y-axis (d vs. t). Include axis labels and graph title. Make a best-fit line that goes through the middle of the data. The best-fit line does not have to go through the origin. Do not use data points to calculate slope. Use points on the best-fit line. Circle the points you used to calculate the slope. Other notes Do not write on both sides of the lab report. Use 2 sheets of paper. Clearly label the sections. Be neat! Distance on y Time on x Do not use data points
