HW Thursday, 11-14

All periods:  Complete the calculations for the lab using the data you now have.

• Measured Acceleration table:
• Average the times for each trial
• Calculate the measured accelerations on page 2 using distance and time (a = 2d / t^2)
• Theoretical acceleration table
• Total hanging mass starts at 0.06 kg and increases 0.01 for each trial
• Calculate the weight of the hanging mass in Newtons  (F = mg, with g = 9.8 m/s/s)
• Total mass is constant (you already figured it out on the previous page)
• Calculate the theoretical acceleration using force and mass ( a = F / m )
