Physical Science - 12/15, 12/16 - Atwood's Machine Revisited

I. Large scale Atwood's Machine. Create your own Sheet from scratch. Use sample data to determine if your formulas work. Calculate average g and percent error. Write a conclusion statement. Print it all on one page and turn it in.

II. Large scale Newton's Pendulum. Use the data provided in a Sheet to calculate all necessary values. Create the appropriate graph. Calculate G. Calculate % error. Write a conclusion statement. Print it all on one page and turn it in.

Atwood's Machine allowed for a repetitive method to determine the acceleration due to gravity. Today you will build a Sheet in preparation for the final exam that will calculate g. Use the provided sample data. Answer the "Discussion Requirement" questions and calculation. Print your final results and check them with Mr. Hollis.
