Document Summary

They"ve lost much of their ability to live the way humans usually live: The ability to identify others and the world by sight. Ability to care for others: girl with dark glasses takes care of the boy with the. Hoodlums (new or old association, not clear which) demand payment for food. The radio goes silent the old world has either died or gone completely blind unable to sleep, the doctor"s wife goes on recon, discovering the hoodlums hideout, etc. The doctor"s wife kills the leader of the hoodlums; the food deliveries stop. Woman starts fire, throws herself into it, and ultimately, the escape of the blind internees. Hoodlums: in the absence of a discernible power structure, the hoodlums seize power. Are organized within themselves, cooperating and in possession of weapons to aid them: they have the food, are in charge, and demand pay for their food. Uselessness of valuables makes it unworthy to resist.

Could you please proofread and correct scientifically andgrammatically my work, thanks ^_^

Here itis:

The percentage error was found to be 0.186% and 6.66%respectively.

This implies that the predicted value of the freefall accelerationis fairly accurate while the predicated value of deceleration isnot as much. The encountered errors were due to severalexperimental and human limitation was that the experiment involved.The experimental limitation was due to the uncertainty of theclinometer which was Â± 0.5o.

I.e. In our calculation, a difference of 0.5o can lead to adifference of 40 - 80 cm in height as shown below:

The human limitations was due to the human eye being unable todetect the exact point on the track at which the gondoladecelerates. This is because the braking happened very quickly.This adds an uncertainty to the location of deceleration when theangels are being measured.

In addition, the human ability cannot decide on the exact period oftime at which the gondola freefalls or decelerates. This is due tothe human reaction speed being unable to exactly determine thestart time of the momentary freefall and deceleration. The timetaken for humans to react cannot be measured thus it cannot besubtracted from the findings to get an accurate timing.

All of these limitations that have affected the accuracy of theresults could be avoided to some extent by marking the exact zonesrequired on the track of the giant drop as well as using anelectronic angle measurer to measure the angles . Additionally, theusage of an electronic timer to measure periods of the freefall anddeceleration is also suggested.

During the analysis, finding an average to the deceleration in theaccelerometer reading (using Logger Pro) was only estimated usingthe human naked eye. This is because an average could not be takenelectronically. Thus, there is also some uncertainty involved inthe theoretical value.

NOTE:

The value for freefall acceleration obtained from thevideo-analysis technique was 9.754 Â± 0.3237 m/s2. 9.754 m/s2 has apercentage error of :
0.469%

This value indicates it is fairly accurate and can be used as aconforming result to the theoretical value. The error involved isdue to the fact that the video was shaking, thus plotting thevelocity/ time graph of the gondola at different times wasnegatively affected; although the axes was roughly re-set at everyframe.
