UGA PHYSICS 1111 LAB ACTUAL
EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
GRADED A PLUS
◉ Percent Error. Answer:
◉ percent difference. Answer:
◉ How does the detector measure the position of the glider? Answer: the
detector measures the position of the glider by being in a still/fixed
position to yield correct and accurate results. The detector uses the
software to measure the time vs the position of the glider on the track
◉ How can you determine whether the air track is level? Answer: the
glider moves back and forth in the center of the track (note: movement is
minimal)
◉ What are two sources of friction on the glider? Answer: the air in
atmosphere, any (if any) part of the glider than is grazing/touching the
track during movement), the air being exerted by track
