AI Thread Summary
The AS Physics sensing coursework requires students to design and test a sensor. The focus of the project is to create a sensor that measures the angle of climb in an aircraft, specifically using a rotary potentiometer. Key components to include in the coursework are the design process, testing methods, and results analysis. Students should clearly outline their methodology and any challenges faced during the project. This coursework aims to demonstrate practical application of physics concepts in sensor technology.

Hey i have to do a draft of my coursework what do you have to include in your as coursework for sensing I am not quite sure. Thanks for any help given! jared :smile:
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Could you tell us what you mean by "sensing"?

What class is this for? Physics? Maths?
 
Sensing

sorry this is my AS physics sensing coursework.
Brief to design and test a sensor.
I have chosen to desing a sensor that measures angle of climb in an aircraft. using a rotary potentiometer
please ask me if you need any more information.
thanks jared
 
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...
