Question

In conducting a Free Fall experiment with motion, you predict the Acceleration due to gravity (g) at 9.80 m/s^2 The actual value of g from the experiment Is 9.70 m/s^2. Explain the types of errors one might encounter in conducting free fall experiments in the lab setting by naming several potential sources of errors. What do you expect might be the source of the error in this case? How would you write this in a lab report? Let's say you ran a different experiment, but again the prediction is 9.80 m/s^2. This time the actual g from the experiment is 7 60 m/s^2 What do you expect might be the source of the error in this case? How would you write this m a lab report? One more time Instead of 9.80 m/s^2, the result is 11 00 m/s^2. What do you expect might be the source of the error in this case? How would you write this in a lab report? If this experiment were performed on moon surface would you expect the value of g to increase, decrease or remain the same? Why? For full credit, you must answer each part of the question fully and you must respond to at least one classmate with a meaningful response that furthers the discussion, asks a probing question, or adds information to your classmate's post.

Explanation / Answer

A types of error

i) systematic error

ii) personal error

iii) experimental instrumental error

in this case there must be random error i.e defect in personal experimental procedure. the oscillationof the pendulum is not perfectly counted while taking observation

B) in this case there is instrumental error

the instrument is not perfectly set up to take observation

C)

in this case the stopwatch time calculation is lesser because of personal error.

2) if the experiment has taken in moo the value of g will decreases because moon gravity has six time lesser than earth gravity.
