why did the experiment not get 100% recovery explain where the missing mass could havebeen found

Step 1
Measurement Errors: The most common reason for not achieving 100% recovery in an experiment is due to measurement errors. This could be due to inaccuracies in the equipment used to measure the substances or human error in reading the measurements. Show more…

What might be some sources of experimental error in gravity and free-fall experiment?
Christopher D.
In Part 1 of the lab activity, you did not assume that the center of mass was at the 50 cm mark. Instead, you determined the location of the center of mass of the meter stick to eliminate this source of error. Let's say that the actual center of mass is at the 49 cm mark. If you did not measure this and assumed it was at 50 cm, what kind of error would have been introduced? Random error Systematic error Both random and systematic error No error would have been introduced.
