Two students want to measure the acceleration a of a cart rolling down an inclined plane. The cart starts at rest and travels a distance s down the plane. The first student estimates the acceleration by measuring the instantaneous velocity v just as the cart has traveled s meters, and uses the formula a = v²/2s. The second student estimates the acceleration by measuring the time, in seconds, that the cart takes to travel s meters, and uses the formula a = 2s/t. Assume that s = 1 m, and that there is negligible uncertainty in s. Assume that v = 3.2 + 0.1 m/s and that t = 0.63 + 0.01 s. Assume that the measurements of v and t are independent. Compute the acceleration using the method of the first student. Call this estimate az. Find the uncertainty in a̟. a. b. Compute the acceleration using the method of the second shudent. Call this estimate az. Find the uncertainty in a,. Find the weighted average of a, and a, that has the smallest uncertainty. Find the C. uncertainty in this weighted average.
