10. Data analysis question.

Gillian carried out an experiment to investigate the craters formed when steel balls are dropped into sand. To try and find the relationship between the diameter of the crater and the energy of impact of steel balls of the same diameter, she dropped a steel ball from different heights h into sand and measured the resulting diameter d of the crater. The data are shown plotted below.

(a) The uncertainty in the measurement of d is ?0.40 cm; the uncertainty in h is too small to be shown. Draw error bars for the data point (0.2, 0.047) and the data point (2.0, 0.10).

(2)

(b) Draw a best-fit line for the data points.

(2)

(c) The original hypothesis, made by Gillian, was that the diameter of the crater is directly proportional to the energy of impact of the steel balls. Explain why the data does not support this hypothesis. ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ......................................................................................................................................

(d) Since Gillian's data did not support her hypothesis, she researched to find alternative hypotheses. She found that there are two theories used to predict a relationship between d and h.

Theory 1 predicts that d = const (h) 3 and theory 2 predicts that d = const (h) 4 .

In order to test which theory her data supports, she plotted a graph of lg(d) against lg(h). The plot produced a straight line that could be drawn through all the error bars.

The graph includes the lines of maximum and minimum gradients based on the first error bar for the first non-zero data point and the last error bar. The last error bar is too small to be shown. State and explain if the original data support theory 1 or theory 2. ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ...................................................................................................................................... ......................................................................................................................................

11. Data analysis question. A student performs an experiment with a paper toy that rotates as it falls slowly through the air. After release, the paper toy quickly attains a constant vertical speed as measured over a fixed vertical distance.

The aim of the experiment was to find how the terminal speed of the paper toy varies with its weight. The weight of the paper toy was changed by using different numbers of paper sheets in its construction. The graph shows a plot of the terminal speed v of the paper toy (calculated from the raw data) and the number of paper sheets n used to construct the toy. The uncertainty in v for n = 1 is shown by the error bar.
