The values below are different wire thicknesses measured with a micrometer screw gauge. The uncertainty of it is +/- 0.01mm. Diameter/thickness of wire/mm 0.02 0.10 0.14 0.30 0.42 I need to halve (or divide by two) these values to calculate radius and hence calculate cross...

I am using a basic paper helicopter. I guess you are right, there must have been a flaw with my method.

A trend line will be drawn on Microsoft Excel to obtain an acceleration for the paper helicopter. Yes, 5 different accelerations can be obtained.

I want to calculate the acceleration on a linear graph by using the formula a=v/t. However one of the values in the equation above needs to be manipulate to obtain a linear graph. I tried plotting a graph with v on the y-axis and the inverse of t on the x axis. The acceleration (of the...

1) This is the final velocity of the paper helicopter. The velocity at which it hits the ground. The velocity was calculated by using the equation 2s/t = v. Where 2s is "two multiplied by displacement (5.10m - drop height)" The t represents the time taken for the helicopter to drop 5.10m. v...

Homework Statement For my physics coursework I need to convert a curved graph into a linear graph. This will allow me to calculate the acceleration of the object. The experiment was repeated multiple times with the independent variable being the mass of the object. The object was dropped...
