PHY 101L Module One Lab Report Measurements and Uncertainty Name: Date: Complete this lab report by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information. Data Data Table 1: Determination of Uncertainty in Lab Balance Trial Washer #1 Mass (g) Washer #1 Deviation from Average (g) Washer #2 Mass (g) Washer #2 Deviation from Average (g) 1 [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] 2 [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] 3 [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] 4 [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] 5 [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] Average [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] [Insert text.] 1. Suppose you continued Activity 1 using a third washer of the same type. Would you expect the average deviation from the average mass to be the same or different? Explain your answer. I would anticipate the average deviation from the average mass to be the same due to the results of the previous tests. The scale has established its margin of error to be plus or minus .1, therefore it can be anticipated that if a third washer were measured, the same margin of error would occur with those measurements as well causing a very similar, if not the same, average deviation from the average mass.

Data Table 2: Determination of Uncertainty in Common Glassware 250 mL Graduated Cylinder 250 mL Beaker Mass of empty glassware [Insert text.] [Insert text.] Volume of water 50 mL 50 mL High volume interval [Insert text.] [Insert text.] Low volume interval [Insert text.] [Insert text.] Average volume [Insert text.] [Insert text.] Uncertainty [Insert text.] [Insert text.] Mass of glassware with water [Insert text.] [Insert text.] Mass of water [Insert text.] [Insert text.] 2. Which piece of glassware has the highest degree of precision? Why? The glassware that has the highest degree of precision is the graduated cylinder as it had more precise markings and therefore, enabled a more precise, or at least much closer measurement with a decreased margin of error when compared to the beaker. Considering the markings of the graduated cylinder were in 2 mL versus the markings of the beaker being 10mL (with no marking under 50mL), the uncertainty of the graduated cylinder measurement was much less comparatively (plus or minus 2mL vs plus or minus 10mL).
