  • Percent error
  • Linear motion
    • speed & velocity
    • acceleration
  • Free fall
    • velocity
    • distance
  • Kinematic equations (four)
  • Force
  • Pressure

  • Quarter 1 Benchmark Assessment.
  • This is small test on all the basic content from quarter 1.
    • Scientific method.
    • Percent error.
    • Linear motion.
    • Free fall.

    Big Bridge-Grape-River-Raft Problem
    • A person is standing on a bridge that is 6.5 meters above a river.
    • The person is holding a grape over the water.
    • The grape is purple (obviously).
    • Another person is lying face up on a raft that is upstream from the bridge.
    • The raft is 12 meters away from the bridge and moving toward it at 7 m/s.
    • The person's mouth is open (the one lying on the raft).
    • The person on the bridge wants to release the grape so that is falls in to the raft person's mouth.
    • How far away should the raft be from the bridge when the grape is released?
    • On a piece of paper, sketch the situation and show all equations/work needed to answer the question.  Draw a box around your final answer.

    • VI. Conclusion.  1-2 sentences that address whether or not the purpose was achieved and your percent error, see below for an example.
      • My group was not successful in achieving the amount of “g” we had hoped for. Our calculation of “g” was off by -18.67%.
    • VII. Discussion.  Answer the following questions in 2 paragraphs – five sentences for each paragraph.  Don't forget to use you "Error Analysis" worksheet as guide to answer some of the questions.
      • Why was your value off by the above amount and what caused the error? Explain (please consider all possible reasons – there are a lot of factors here).
      • Was the object used in the lab appropriate for achieving the purpose? Why or why not?
         
      • How could you make your value for “g” more accurate? Explain (again, lots to consider).
