To calculate the initial ball velocity vi with error found by propagating uncertainty in θ. For error propgating use the following the equation to calculate the uncertainty in cos (θ), necessary for calculation using the derived expression. Note that the uncertainty comes from the 2/3 method. δcos (θ) = | cos (θ + δθ) -2cos (θ - δθ) | Mass of ball 66.0 g 0.1 g Mass of pendulum 245.0 g 0.1 g Theoretical velocity 4.19 +/- 0.02 m/s Trial Final angle 1 28.00 degrees 2 28.00 degrees 3 28.10 degrees 4 28.00 degrees 5 28.10 degrees 6 27.90 degreesarrow_forward
