Before Class Preparation:

• Complete Pre-Lab
• Read the procedure and print (or make a copy of) this handout:
  • Newton’s 2nd law: Constant applied force
• Create a proper data table to record data
  • (5 trials for 5 data points)

In Class Activity:

• Newton’s 2nd law simulation: Constant mass
• Newton’s 2nd law: Constant applied force
  • Data to be collected individually (7 choose 5 or 9 choose 6)
• Rubric for Lab Skills Assessment

After Class Work:

• Review:
  • Read this document about error & instrumental uncertainties
  • Video: Uncertainty of a measured number (Spread of data)
• Create an appropriate data table with Google sheets
• Linearize the data
• Create an appropriate scatter plot and add a trend line
• Calculate the slope of the trend line
