BHS PHYSICS LAB #1 Measurement, Sig Figs, EXCEL, Data Analysis
BHS PHYSICS LAB #1: GOALS Take measurements with proper # of sig figs Enter, manipulate data on EXCEL Perform column calculations with EXCEL Graph data with trendlines Analyze plots: meaning of slope of functions Verify the relationships: –Circumference vs radius –Area vs radius
BHS PHYSICS Procedure Choose 5 different cylinders. Measure the diameter, circumference and Area of the bases of each cylinder Use EXCEL to compare measured values vs calculated values

BHS PHYSICS LAB #1 DATA ANALYSIS
BHS PHYSICS RADIUS (cm) GRAPH #1: C vs r CIRCUMFERENCE (cm) C r y = m x + b C = 2 r + 0
BHS PHYSICS GRAPH #2: AREA vs RADIUS RADIUS (cm) AREA (cm) A r n n = 2,3,?
BHS PHYSICS GRAPH #3: A vs. r 2 RADIUS ^2 (cm 2 ) AREA (cm) y = m x + b Trendline:Linear Relationship: A r 2 A = r A = r 2
