curved line
.
The line or curve formed is increasing
because the object is undergoing accelerated motion
.
Newton's Second Law, Step 5
If you increase the mass of the cart, while leaving the hanging mass unchanged, the acceleration of the
system will decrease
.
If you increase the mass of the hanging weight, while leaving the mass of the cart unchanged, the
acceleration of the system will increase
.
Newton's Second Law, Step 6
Was there any change in the acceleration value or the time to fall any particular distance when changing the
hanging mass? no
What does this say about the acceleration of gravity on a free falling body?
The acceleration of gravity is independent of the mass of the object that is falling.

NOTES FOR EACH HEADING:
Name: Do not expect credit if not included.
Title: The experiment name. Do not include the Module number. Again, do not expect
credit if not included.
Hypothesis: Statement that the experiment is going to test, prove, or disprove. What is
the point of the experiment? (Make a statement that the experiment will either clearly
prove or disprove.)
• NOT a hypothesis: “To prove the Conservation of Momentum/Newton’s Third
Law” or “What happens when I drop/swing a ball on a Newton’s Cradle.”
• IS a hypothesis: “Using the law of conservation of momentum, releasing X
number of balls on one side of the line of balls will result in the same number of
balls being propelled outward on the opposite side with the same velocity and
momentum.” While the hypothesis does not need to be so detailed or long, it
does need to make a statement specific enough to be testable in order to prove
or disprove.
Overview: Brief summary of what was tested, how it was tested, and what occurred in
the experiment (as in the general actions or procedures). Should include specifics (or at
least some aspects) of the hypothesis.
Procedures: See Experiment Instructions (use this phrase; do not include actual
procedures from the experiment).
Data Table: See Experiment Data Table (use this phrase; do not include actual data
or tables from the experiment).
Uncertainty & Error: Can you trust your data?
Considerations:
1) What factors may have affected or biased the data and introduced uncertainty in
the experiment measurements? Or, what conditions created uncertainty in your
measurements? Which measurements were most affected?”
2) If you were conducting the experiment in a physical environment, what other
factors would have to be taken into account while accomplishing the procedures?
How might they affect the data and/or experiment outcome?
Conclusion/Summary: This section must contain each of the items listed below.
Although you are now the one speaking, of your personal results, you will still wish to
retain your professional detachment (i.e., avoid using “I” as much as possible). Although
this is merely an example, it does contain all the requisite components. You may write
this section how you see fit, as long as the items annotated are included. However, a
checklist or bullet list is not acceptable. The clarity and flow of your conclusion/summary
should make clear to any ready what you did in the experiment and how it turned out.
“In this experiment, XXX (idea or concept) was tested (or simply restate your
hypothesis). This was done by (how you did it—brief description of above
procedures/overview). The results were/indicated that (what you learned or
proved/disproved—again, hypothesis). Some errors that may have occurred with this
experiment include (possible errors/flaws—must include at least one). In the future,
XXX (changes, additions, deletions or other suggested improvements) should be
considered to enhance the experiment.
Application: How does this topic—and science in general—impact our understanding
of the complex, technological society of which we are a part? How does this explain
something in the real world around you? Give specific examples.
Poor example:
“Knowing this helps in commerce and shipping.” (Vague, does not add clarity—HOW
does it help?).
Good example:
“Proper understanding and calculation of density/weight and buoyancy ensure boats
and ships are not overloaded, which is critical for the safe shipping of materials on
the world’s oceans and rivers. Additionally, being able to calculate volume
displacement enables shippers to mark shipping and passenger vessels with water
lines, or Plimsoll lines, to indicate maximum load displacement.”
The Good example above is more detailed and expansive than required (italicized
portion), but it is given as an example to show the degree of clarity and specificity
expected.
Note: simply rehashing the experiment results is not an application:
Ex: “A more thorough and clear knowledge on how time and acceleration is affected by
an object’s mass is provided by this experiment.”

Physics Experiment Report Example
The following pages contain a sample experiment report for an experiment (not one in
this course—for example purposes only) where the water level in a 2-liter soda bottle
changes as more and more water is added. It is slightly more brief and less welldeveloped than your experiment reports are expected to be (except in the area of
Uncertainty, which is more robust than you may be able to produce), however, it
provides a sense of what type of information is expected in each section.
Note: This Experiment Report example has been edited to follow the Experiment Report
requirements of the PHYS 102 class. Certain headings and sections were removed
(including Method, Materials List, Raw Data table, and Data Analysis) due to the virtual
nature of the experiment simulations, and the desire to focus on the experiment results
and student conclusions.
This experiment example below is designed to correlate the volume of the water
contained within the bottle to the height of the water in that bottle. (Again, this
experiment does not exist in the PHYS 102 course and is used for example purposes
only.)
Name: Stuart (Stu) Dent
Title: Soda Bottle Experiment
Hypothesis: Given that a soda bottle roughly resembles a cylinder, a linear
relationship is expected between the height of the water and the amount of water
(volume) poured into it.
Or
Given that a soda bottle roughly resembles a cylinder, the more water poured into the
bottle, the higher the water level will be.
Overview: To test for a linear relationship between volume and height in the cylinder
(bottle), the height of the water is measured after successive, equal amounts of water
are added to the cylinder (bottle). A best line fit in a Volume-height (V-h) diagram will be
used to determine if the relationship is linear.
Procedure: See Experiment Instructions
Raw Data: See Experiment data sheet(s)
Uncertainty & Error:
Uncertainty:
We were able to measure the volume with a precision of ±25mL and the water level with
a precision of ±0.5cm.
Major Sources of Error:
Systematic:
• In particular, at the lower and upper end of the bottle we have indentions that
make the shape of the bottle deviate from a cylindrical shape. This should
overall shift the curve upwards. (Can be avoided by only measuring the height
gain for the middle part of the bottle.)
• Ruler held at an angle. This will result in an over-estimate of h. (Can be
avoided by holding ruler perpendicular.)
• Residual water in the bottle. This will again shift the entire curve upwards.
(Can be avoided by having the bottle carefully dried.)
• Bubbles in the water. This will result in an overestimation of the volume.
(Effect can be reduced by letting water sit before measurements).
Random:
• Change in temperature in water (thermal expansion).
• Misreading the ruler.
Summary: The expectation of a linear relationship between volume and height seems
correct. The measured heights of the water in the bottle as the volume of water
increased fell along a straight line in the V-h graph, very well supporting this notion. The
fact that the intercept is non-zero (as would be expected) can be accounted for by the
indentations at the lower end of the bottle. This error is based on the fact that the bottle
is not a true cylinder. Additional errors may have been introduced by incorrect
measurement readings or other aspects relating to the temperature of the water or
fluctuations in volume. The slope has little physical meaning, except that it is
proportional to the average area of the bottle. Future iterations of this experiment might
benefit from ensuring the experiment is conducted in a constant temperature
environment, the water is room temperature, and the bottle has a flat bottom and is
closer to the shape of a true cylinder.
Application: This experiment shows the connection between volume and height,
providing some insight for manufacturers to estimate how much liquid could be held in
cylindrical containers, whether they be water bottles or giant beer vats. An alternate
view could be that the set height of fluid in a cylindrical container would tell the
manufacturer how much liquid is in the container. The use of height sensors could be
used as quality control for bottling plants.

If the data points of distance and time were connected smoothly on a graph, the curve would be a
curved line
.
The line or curve formed is increasing
because the object is undergoing accelerated motion
.
Newton's Second Law, Step 5
If you increase the mass of the cart, while leaving the hanging mass unchanged, the acceleration of the
system will decrease
.
If you increase the mass of the hanging weight, while leaving the mass of the cart unchanged, the
acceleration of the system will increase
.
Newton's Second Law, Step 6
Was there any change in the acceleration value or the time to fall any particular distance when changing the
hanging mass? no
What does this say about the acceleration of gravity on a free falling body?
The acceleration of gravity is independent of the mass of the object that is falling.

ASK YOUR TEACHER
Please include units in your answer.
• Use the correct unit abbreviation.
• Include a space between the value and the unit.
• To express exponents in your units, use a ^. For example, m/s2 would be
m/s^2.
What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a modi"ed Atwood machine if the mass of the cart is 10 kg and the
hanging mass is 7 kg? (Use g = 9.8 m/s2. Express your answer to one decimal point.)
