Help with drawing gradients along error bars

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the challenge of drawing maximum and minimum gradients for a dataset with linear trends and manually drawn y-axis error bars. The user notes that the trendline fits within the error bars, but the calculated gradients do not. There is a question about whether it is acceptable for the gradients to miss some error bars or if adjustments to the error values are necessary. The consensus suggests that while it is common for gradients to not encompass all error bars, ensuring they align with the overall data representation is important for accuracy. Adjusting error values may not be required if the trendline remains valid.

Homework Statement



I have a set of data which clearly shows a linear trend. I've hand-drawn the y-axis error bars for the data (x-axis errors are negligible), and a trendline (without any mathematical/statistical techniques). The trendline stays well within each of the error bars.

However, I'm also supposed to draw maximum and minimum gradients. And I've noticed that these gradients completely miss out some of the error bars.

Is that usually acceptable? Or should I change some of the error values just so that the max and min gradients stay within all the error bars?

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...
