09:41:53 The Query program normally asks you questions about assigned problems and class notes, in question-answer-self-critique format. Since Assignments 0 and 1 consist mostly of lab-related activities, most of the questions on these queries will be related to your labs and will be in open-ended in form, without given solutions, and will not require self-critique. The purpose of this Query is to gauge your understanding of some basic ideas about motion and timing, and some procedures to be used throughout the course in analyzing our observations. Answer these questions to the best of your ability. If you encounter difficulties, the instructor's response to this first Query will be designed to help you clarify anything you don't understand. {}{}Respond by stating the purpose of this first Query, as you currently understand it.

09:42:20 If, as in the object-down-an-incline experiment, you know the distance an object rolls down an incline and the time required, explain how you will use this information to find the object 's average speed on the incline.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Distance/time will give the average speed confidence assessment: 3

09:42:38 If an object travels 40 centimeters down an incline in 5 seconds then what is its average velocity on the incline? Explain how your answer is connected to your experience.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 40/5 = 8 cm/sec confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
09:43:42 If the same object requires 3 second to reach the halfway point, what is its average velocity on the first half of the incline and what is its average velocity on the second half?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 40-20 = 20/5 = 4 cm/sec confidence assessment: 3

09:48:39 Using the same type of setup you used for the first object-down-an-incline lab, if the computer timer indicates that on five trials the times of an object down an incline are 2.42 sec, 2.56 sec, 2.38 sec, 2.47 sec and 2.31 sec, then to what extent do you think the discrepancies could be explained by each of thefollowing: {}{}a. The lack of precision of the TIMER program{}{}b. The uncertain precision of human triggering (uncertainty associated with an actual human finger on a computer mouse){}{}c. Actual differences in the time required for the object to travel the same distance.{}{}d. Differences in positioningthe object prior to release.{}{}e. Human uncertainty in observing exactly when the object reached the end of the incline.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> a. the timer program may not be started with the ball goes or the ball may already be rolling when the ball goes down thus creating a lack of precision of the timer program. b. There is always a delay in clkicking the mouse because of holding the ball and realeasing it then clicking at the same time. c. The ball may be a little higher or lower when realeasing it. You may be holding the ball different which would cause a change. d. same as above. e. the human taking the results may not click fast enough to get the exact time when the ball is at the end of the incline. confidence assessment: 2

......!!!!!!!!...................................
09:49:49 How much uncertainty do you think each of the following would actually contribute to the uncertainty in timing a number of trials for the object-down-an-incline lab? {}{}a. The lack of precision of the TIMER program{}{}b. The uncertain precision of human triggering (uncertainty associated bLine$(lineCount) =with an actual human finger on a computer mouse){}{}c. Actual differences in the time required for the object to travel the same distance.{}{}d. Differences in positioning the object prior to release.{}{}e. Human uncertainty in observing exactly when the object reached the end of the incline.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I believe that they all play a part in the lack of certainty in recording the results for this lab. confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
09:53:31 What, if anything, could you do about the uncertainty due to each of the following? Address each specifically. {}{}a. The lack of precision of the TIMER program{}{}b. The uncertain precision of human triggering (uncertainty associated with an actual human finger on a computer mouse){}{}c. Actualdifferences in the time required for the object to travel the same distance.{}{}d. Differences in positioning the object prior to release.{}{}e. Human uncertainty in observing exactly when the object reached the end of the incline.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> a. Use a stop watch or other device. b. Have a partner help you in recording the results. c. Change areas and build a longer ramp to see if the results change. d. You can build a releasing device that will allow for more precise releasing of the object. e. Again have another pair of eyes and have a long ramp to allow for more time to click the mouse to get a better measurment. confidence assessment: 2

09:53:55 10-15-2007 09:53:55 According to the results of your introductory pendulum experiment, do you think doubling the length of the pendulum will result in half the frequency (frequency can be thought of as the number of cycles per minute), more than half or less than half?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
NOTES ------->
.......................................................!!!!!!!!...................................
09:55:20 Note that for a graph of y vs. x, a point on the x axis has y coordinate zero and a point on the y axis has x coordinate zero. In your own words explain why this is so.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Because everything starts out as zero. Then when you start moving something the time and distance will change on the graph. confidence assessment: 2

......!!!!!!!!...................................
09:56:32 On a graph of frequency vs. pendulum length (where frequency is on the vertical axis and length on the horizontal), what would it mean for the graph to intersect the vertical axis (i.e., what would it mean, in terms of the pendulum and its behavior, if the line or curve representing frequency vs. length goes through the vertical axis)? What would this tell you about the length and frequency of the pendulum?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The longer the length the more hits it will hit and the more information you will be able to chart on a graph. confidence assessment: 1
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
09:57:16 On a graph of frequency vs. pendulum length, what would it mean for the graph to intersect the horizontal axis (i.e., what would it mean, in terms of the pendulum and its behavior, if the line or curve representing frequency vs. length goes through the horizontal axis)? What would this tell you about the length and frequency of the pendulum?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> That the pendulum has stop moving. confidence assessment: 2

09:57:42 If a ball rolls down between two points with an average velocity of 6 cm / sec, and if it takes 5 sec between the points, then how far apart are the points?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 30 cm confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
09:58:04 On the average the ball moves 6 centimeters every second, so in 5 seconds it will move 30 cm. {}{}The formal calculation goes like this: {}{}We know that vAve = `ds / `dt, where vAve is ave velocity, `ds is displacement and `dt is the time interval. {}It follows by algebraic rearrangement that `ds = vAve * `dt.{}We are told that vAve = 6 cm / sec and `dt = 5 sec. It therefore follows that{}{}`ds = 6 cm / sec * 5 sec = 30 (cm / sec) * sec = 30 cm.{}{}The details of the algebraic rearrangement are asfollows:{}{}vAve = `ds / `dt. We multiply both sides of the equation by `dt:{}vAve * `dt = `ds / `dt * `dt. We simplify to obtain{}vAve * `dt = `ds, which we then write as{}`ds = vAve *`dt.{}{}Be sure to address anything you do not fully understand in your self-critique.
