1) Using one of your heights and times from when the object was released to when the object hits the floor, calculate g. (This is an experimental value of g)

2) Using all of you height data points, figure out how to make a linear graph of height and time. Determine the slope of the graph. This is related to your second experimental value of g. Determine your second experimental value of g.

3) compare both your experimental values of g to the theoritcal value.

4) What is the percentage difference btween your experimetal values of g and the accepted value, 9.81m/s2 ?

5) How do you account fo this difference?

6) Does the theoritcal value for g fall within the final error range (the uncertainity) of your experimental value?

7) Explain with the primary limitation on your data and how it can be corrected. What factor in the experiment had the biggest effect on collecting valid data and how would you make the experiment more accurate?

Correct asnwer for 5 star rating.

Suppose that you release a small ball from rest at a depth of 0.520 m below the surface in a pool of water. If the density of the ball is 0.285 that of water and if the drag force on the ball from the water is negligible, how high above the water surface will the ball shoot as it emerges from the water? (Neglect any transfer of energy to the splashing and waves produced by the emerging ball.)

The two wires carry current i1 and i2, respectively, with positive current to the right. The charge q is positive and has velocity v to the right.

True False  If i1 is greater than i2, then the force on q is north.
True False  If v = 0, then the force on q is zero.
True False  If i2 = - i1 then the force on q equals zero.
True False  If i2 = 0 and i1 is greater than zero, then the force on q points into the page.
True False  If i1 = 0 and i2 is greater than zero then the force on q is south.
True False  If i2 = 0 and i1 is greater than zero, then the magnetic field near charge q points out of the page.
True False  If i1 = i2, then the wires are attracted to each other.
