Analysis and Conclusion: (Typed and double-spaced)
1. Briefly summarize the force vs. spring deformation lab (Hooke's Law). State how data were collected, explain the significance of the slope, and explain what the area under the graph represents.
2. Explain how data were collected for the deformation vs. speed lab. Identify independent and dependent variables and list the values for the variables that were held constant. Explain how the effect of Edissipated was minimized.
Show the equation that you developed from your data. Verbally and numerically compare the constants in your equation to the corresponding combination of variables held constant during the experiment. Show that the units of the constant in your equation are the same as the units of your combination of constants.
Generalize your equation by replacing the constants in your equation with the variable names from the experiment.
3. Explain how data were collected for the height vs. speed lab. Identify independent and dependent variables and list the values for the variables that were held constant. How does the shape of the hill affect your results?
Show the equation that you developed from your data. Verbally and numerically compare the constants in your equation to the corresponding combination of variables held constant during the experiment. Show that the units of the constant in your equation are the same as the units of your combination of constants.
Generalize your equation by replacing the constants in your equation with the variable names from the experiment.
4. Accurately list the four quantitative models we developed for calculating energy storage in this lab.
