They are merely intended to guide you through the report. 2PROCEDUREAs stated in the lab manual. ANALYSIS OF DATA Graphs*General: Each graph should contain:- A proper title at the top (e.g., velocity (m/s) vs. time (s)), with both axes labeled and units stated- Data points should show error bars if they are visible Graph A: A (cm) versus t (s)- Proper titles at top, axes labeled correctly with proper units - Error bars: only vertical bars -A = - 3% are visible- Correct fit: Exponential, w/ equation of curve displayed on chartGraph B: v (m/s) versus x (cm) - Proper title at top, axes labeled correctly with proper units- Error bars: both horizontal -x = - 8 and vertical -v = - 8 are visible- Correct fit: Linear, w/ equation of curve displayed on chartGraph C: F (N) versus r (cm) - Proper titles at top, axes labeled correctly with proper units - Error bars: both horizontal -r = - 0.1 and vertical -F = - 0.2 are visible- Correct fit: Power, w/ equation of curve displayed on chartGraph D: a (m/s2) versus t (ms) - Proper titles at top, axes labeled correctly with proper units - Error bars: both horizontal -t = - 1 and vertical -a = - 5 are visible- Correct fit: Exponential, w/ equation of curve displayed on chart Graph B (hi-lo) #1: yields slope(lo) and y-int(hi)- Plot with equation of curve displayedGraph B (hi-lo) #2: yields slope(hi) and y-int(lo)- Plot with equation of curve displayedSample Calculations for Uncertainties in Slope and Intercept for Linear Graph- Results displayed w/ DataSummary of Results Table ** Be sure each equation has correct given variables, not generic x,y3CONCLUSIONError Analysis/ Discussion1. Discuss briefly each of graphs A, B, C, and D 2. Comment on uncertainties in slope & intercept (from hi-lo) for straight-line graph 3. Comment on any changes in the number of s.f.’s from your original equation based on this error
