Today, Mrs. Coats-Haan’s 2nd period Honors Physics class began by turning in our homework. The homework due for today was pages 23-24 in our lab manual. Then Coats-Hann told us why we are to not put a line through a group of data on a graph: which is because the line must be a curved or straight line going through most of the data. This allows us to see where outliers of the data are. Before continuing with our lab Coats-Haan discussed the barriers of motion which included gravity, frictions, and the starting force acting on the ball. After our discussion we were told to continue working on our labs so we could get through question 9. If we did not get through question 9, we were then supposed to finish it for homework.
QOD: What are the units of the slope of your graph in the lab? What do they mean?
The units of the slope would be distance (in my group’s case centimeters) over time which is seconds. This means is you had a slope of 10 that your ball was traveling 10 centimeters per second.
