Document Summary

This lab is an opportunity to apply concepts of graphic logic and cartographic standards, and experiment with symbolization using arcmap. The submission for the lab is the printed coloured map; there are no written answers needed. The purpose of the map is to promote recreational opportunities in prince edward county in eastern ontario. The last census (2011) records the population of the county as 25,260 residents. Well known for its beautiful sand beaches on the shores of lake ontario, it has more recently been a leader in culinary tourism in ontario and a number of wineries have grown up in the last few years. The map will show both types of attractions. The data have been created for this lab from information on the prince edward county official tourism. Distinguishing qualitative data on a map by symbol properties. Distinguishing quantitative data on a map by symbol properties.

Theory: Topics that you should be familiar with are: significantfigures, least count and estimated fraction, systematic and randomerrors, accuracy versus precision, percent difference and percenterror. These topics should have been covered in class already (orperhaps in an introduction to the lab manual or in a handout). Itis assumed that the instructor has discussed how to use the massbalance, etc.
Introduction: The goal of section I of this experiment is tomeasure (to the correct least count and estimated fraction) andcalculate (to the correct number of significant figures) thedensity of a metal ball and compare it to a table of accepteddensities (?=7.8x103 kg/m3).
To accomplish this goal keep in mind that: ? = m/V and Vsphere =(4/3) p r3
In the space below create a data table, show your calculations indetail, and compare your measured answer to accepted values givenabove. (Would you calculate a percent error or a percentdifference?)

II. Is g (the acceleration due to gravity) a constant? If so, whatis it?

2)MeasurethetimeittakesforthemetalballtofallthroughthesuggesteddisplacementsshowninDataTable 1. Be sure to do 4 trials for each fall and take the averageof your time and displacement. For each trial measure thedisplacement and record your results as precisely as possible. Becareful how you measure the displacement!

Make sure that you label theaxes of your graph properly and give the graph a descriptivetitle.), Please include (0,0) point.

a) linear fit? b) quadratic (power 2)? c) exponential? d) Power?
The curve with the correlation coefficient (R) closest to 1 has theclosest fit. (e.g. 0.997 is better than 0.956)

Question and further procedures
1. What is the greatest source of error in performing theexperiment? Is this error random or systematic? Explain.
2. At this point you should have calculated g in two different ways(A quadratic graph, and a linear graph). Which technique do youthink is best? Do all two techniques give the same answer? If not,which technique do you think has the most error?
3. How might you modify your procedures to determine whether or notg depends on the mass of the falling object? Do the experiment andcalculate g using your favorite technique.
