Hi,
I have to do an exam (lasting 3 hours) where it is required to perform a very simple experiment.
The test is graded, obviously, not on the experiment itself but on how you compile a report on it, tables, graphs, error proagation, data analysis, etc... all stuff I'm definitely not good at... I'm all about theory.
Are there any helpful resources on the web? Even books would be great.
Thank you!

Just google something like "How to write a physics report" and see what pops up. Or did you take that obvious step already?
 

Thread 'Reference frames, center of rotation, etc'

Topic about reference frames, center of rotation, postion of origin etc Comoving ref. frame is frame that is attached to moving object, does that mean, in that frame translation and rotation of object is zero, because origin and axes(x,y,z) are fixed to object? Is it same if you place origin of frame at object center of mass or at object tail? What type of comoving frame exist? What is lab frame? If we talk about center of rotation do we always need to specified from what frame we observe?
