AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on assessing the consistency of two experimental values for k, calculated as κ1: 0.0607±0.002 Nm and κ2: 0.0564±0.008 Nm. The individual ranges of the values indicate that κ1 is entirely within the range of κ2, suggesting a high level of consistency. Statistical methods for further analysis are mentioned but not elaborated upon, indicating a need for deeper understanding in that area. Overall, the results appear to support the conclusion of consistency between the two values. This analysis highlights the importance of error margins in evaluating experimental data consistency.

Is my data consistent??

Homework Statement


I've obtained two values for k from two different experimental methods and have calculated errors for each and now I want to comment on their consistency with one another. However I'm not too sure how to go about doing that, have a feeling there's some way with statistics but I'm still very new to that so am still not entirely sure how it all works. My results are given below. Thanks

They look highly consistent to me. They don't just overlap; the K1 range is entirely encompassed by the K2 range.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
