As close as possible to see the entire meter stick. 2) Considering your calibration precision, what would you estimate the uncertainty in your 0.1m 3) Even though you are only clicking on positions, the VVA software also provides the veloc Using the scale you set compared with how far it moved from the last point 4) Compare this slope to the velocity you found using your stopwatch to time the motion o They are very similar but ours starts at 0 and the Vernier one starts at 0.22 5) What is the value for the velocity uncertainty (using this method) for your experiment? .05 m/s 6) Using this relationship, what is the uncertainty in the velocity over a given time step? 0.05 m/s, same because position and velocity are constant 7) How does this compare with the uncertainty you found from fitting the position plot? It is smaller 8) Why is the uncertainty from fitting the position data so much smaller than the uncertain 9) If someone asked you what the uncertainty of the velocity of this car is, what would you
