Physics Coursework - Making Sense of Data

... Introduction: I have been presented with a set of data, of which I have been given the task of analysing the data and to write a report showing what can be understood from it in relation to the physical principles involved. The task requires three hours of teaching time and roughly three hours of home work to write the analysis of the data and the report in a suitable fashion. Aims: * To make sense of the data of the data by showing my skills and knowledge of how to represent data to be more understandable and in a clearer fashion. * I should identify trends and patterns, and provide explanations for the findings. * I should concentrate on the task at hand rather than the experimental skilfulness. Experiment Equipment: * 1x Light Gate * 1x Computer with suitable logging interface. * 1x ramp - 70cm * Books or suitable incline material. * A trolley - 183g * 1x Opaque card
