Question

3. Use the Analysis Tool and select a range of data to calculate the average acceleration and force on the iOLab. Take a screenshot and paste here. 4. Record the average (?) +/- uncertainty (?) for both the acceleration and force in the table below. Acceleration (m/s²) Force (N) 5. Use your algebraic answer from question 2, and calculate the mass of the iOLab. Record your value here: iOLab Mass (kg) 6. When you hold your iOLab very steady to measure its weight, the accelerometer recorded a nonzero acceleration equivalent to g, but the iOlab was not moving. Explain why this is. Hint: think about the calibration of the accelerometers and what is zero acceleration for the accelerometer. What would the accelerometer record if the iOLab lab was falling?

00:01 In this problem, we are given a graph of the average acceleration as a function of time, and the average force of the function of time, and we are given the uncertainty.

00:10 So the average acceleration is reading off the graph.

00:13 So this is slightly problematic.

00:14 It's hard to read.

00:15 But i believe the average acceleration is minus 9 .975 plus minus 0 .0 .704 meters per second squared.

00:32 And the average force is given by the average force.

00:38 0 .466 newton plus or minus 0 .07 newton.

00:52 So we really want to match our digits here.

00:56 Use correct reporting rules.

00:58 So three significant digits on our force means three significant digits on uncertainty.

01:02 Oh, vice versa.

01:04 Three significant digits in uncertainty means three significant digits in our force.

01:10 Same thing for here.

01:16 And now with this, we want to find the mass.

01:18 So we recall that f is equal to m .a.

01:27 And that's going to be the relationship between our force and our acceleration.

01:30 So we can solve for the mass, given the average acceleration and average mass.

01:34 Excuse me an average force.

01:35 So the average mass, or the approximate mass, will be given by f over air...
