Disinfectant and bacteria experiment VERY

AI Thread Summary
An experiment was conducted to assess the effectiveness of four disinfectants on bacterial growth, with disinfectant A proving to be the most effective. The discussion emphasizes the need for a thorough analysis that includes data collection methods and comparisons of the disinfectants' ingredients. Participants suggest focusing on quantifying the effects on bacterial growth rates to strengthen the analysis. Additional insights on structuring the write-up and drawing conclusions based on the data are requested. A comprehensive analysis will enhance the understanding of the experiment's outcomes.

Disinfectant and bacteria experiment! VERY URGENT

Hi.I have done an experiment recently about the effect of disinfectant on the rate of bacterial growth.I used four disinfectants.Say A,B,C and D.A came out to be the best disinfectant followed by B C and D.I want to do the analysis now but i am not quiet sure what to write .I can say A is the best and give a reason for that but i don't think writting that will be enough.Anyone here can suggest me how to write up an analysis for an experiment or if you have any weblink about it ,can you please drop it here.Any kind of help will highly be appreciatedundefined

You have answered your own question if you examine your first sentence:
"the effect of disinfectant on the rate of bacterial growth.
The analysis is going to explain the data you have taken and the conclusions you come to. What data did you take? Did you compare the ingredients in the disinfectants?

In addition, how did you QUANTIFY the "effect on bacterial growth rate" between "A", "B", "C", & "D"??

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
