 * THEN we will have a class pizza party at lunch time ($2 per student & Leslie will cover the rest)**

The question: how big is the force of friction on this cart being pulled across the table? - Video of our data collection trials is here and here - use this for part 1 to describe the challenge so someone not in our class could understand it & for part 2 to make a diagram of the set up and list the supplies needed. NOTES::::::> - Pg 65 notes - What things do we know about the set up? You will need a force diagram in your analysis section. There are some calculations and facts there to help you with analysis. ...- BE IN CLASS to get more help with analysis AND/OR MAKE AN APPOINTMENT to get help from Leslie - Pg 64 notes - How did we collect our data? What issues did we consider and face? You will need these notes to help you with the data for part 3, finding the answers and identifying what might be causing errors in part 4, and help you think about what could be done to reduce error if this project were repeated (part 5). - Important data recorded on page 64 Pg 66? Connecting the acceleration (found using the UAM template) to the Force of Friction

 * Homework #6 due Mon 9/28**



1) What was different about the results of our 2nd try (40 cm)? 2) Summarize: If you need to time something (like a ping pong ball rolling on a track) what affects the accuracy?
 * Page 12**: Homework due Fri 9/25



- Diagram and Label the set up for timing the short pendulum - Explain your procedure for measuring, step by step Goal: Someone not in our class would get measurements matching our results.
 * Page 10:** Homework due Wed 9/23

- As we time a simple pendulum, what makes our answers different? - What were our sources of error? - What was different about our second pendulum? - What does this teach us as we prepare to collect evidence about the ball on the track?
 * Page 11:** Timing and Error
