A group of students, performing the same Uniformly AcceleratedMotion experiment that you did in lab, dropped a picket fencethrough a photogate and obtained the following data from thecomputer.
| Blocking Times (s) |
|---|
| 0.05206 |
| 0.08969 |
| 0.12076 |
| 0.14763 |
| 0.17203 |
| 0.19438 |
| 0.21502 |
The band spacing is 0.06 m.
(a) Use Excel to do the following. (You will not submit thisspreadsheet. However, the results will be needed later in thisproblem.)
(i) Calculate the accelerations.
(ii) Calculate the average of the accelerations.
(iii) Create a graph of velocity versus time.
(iv) Use the trendline option to determine the slope.
(v) Report your results below.
(b) What is the average acceleration? (Give your answer to foursignificant digits.)
aavg =
(c) What is the average acceleration aaverageas determined from the slope? (Give your answer to four significantdigits.)
aavg =
(d) What is the percent difference between the values of theacceleration you obtained in (b) and (c) above?
%
I am struggling as to why I keep getting the wrong answer.
