Homework Statement In class we all measured a sheet of paper with a meter stick. We measured it in meters, and guessed about what the size is in meters. Then we did the same with decimeters, centimeters and millimeters. The measurements we got were .3 meters, 2.8 decimeters, 27.9...

Is this for real, no misunderstanding or misinterpreting what was actually said? Yes I know this was from 1999, but I'd still like to know if that huge dollar figure was accurate.

Hi guys, I'm an undergraduate studying at uni currently on a year long "placement". I say "placement", more like "do meaningless tasks that benefit my advisor and his research" - but ultimately nothing to do with my thesis. Anyway since my advisor puts in no effort and the university have...

They actually did find some small amount of water in the Lcross ejecta plume. http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/330/6003/463 Science magazine 22 October. You remember they crashed junk into an everdark crater at the moon's south pole and studied the resulting cloud of debris. The...

I do not know how to write physics lab report and error analysis. Are there any sample on some websites?

lab report least square fiiting line "error"? what is least square fiiting line "error"? y=A+Bx It is said that there is errors involved in A and B;So the least square line has to be compared to some other lines to determine the errors. But how to do it? Are there any formulas?? Thank you!

Homework Statement I have to do a lab report on centripetal force, frequency and radius. My question is, does a graph have to show the (0,0) points? Also, I got an equation out of the graphing software for one of the graphs and it was y = 1.51x^0.4233, is it okay to use this equation or y =...

So we need to make a practical report and I'm not sure how to do it. I've learned the basics like lift equals weight and thrust equals drag.. and then the teacher made a model wind tunnel in class, we then got air speed(km/h) and its mass(g) etc. for it then we had to convert them to life and...

The experiment was to measure muzzle velocity of a ball fired by a 'spring gun'. Then to use the equations of projectile motion in order to determine the projectile trajectory. During the experiment we used a variable-height platform to stop the ball mid-air (at y = 0.4 m & y = 0.1 m). Now we're...

Hi I was wondering when I am completing a structural calculation engineering report with values like dimensions, stresses, safety factor and constants etc, to what significant number or decimal place should I put them?

Hi all, so... now that I have to write lab reports at uni level, I'm starting to wonder what software would be best suited for the task. Currently, my workflow goes like this: iWork Pages (or MS Word) for the actual report. imported LaTeX (or Mathematica) PDFs for mathematical equations...

Hi, I need to plot a graph of F=kx for my lab report. By measuring x, displacement of spring for every mass (20g, 40g,50g) we found k. Now i need to draw F-x graph. I put my F and x data on graph w/o any problems. But when it comes to draw the line of F=kx i get stuck. Using the line's...

I'm currently trying to write a report at the moment with some tables for some data, and it would be ideal for me to put these tables side-by-side if possible. However, I'm not sure as to how this can be achieved; I've currently doing \documentclass{article} with multiple figures of graphs...
