Discuss the unit of distance. What questions do you have about it? What additional info would you need in order to explain this unit in the report. Discuss the unit of distance of the soda bottle that was used in this experiment. The unit of distance could be measured using the metric system, which would be centimeters, or meters or it might have been measured in inches or feet. My question is which unit of measurement did my lab partners use to measure the soda bottle. What conclusions would you draw about the speed of the glider as it moved along the air track? What factors might account for these data? What could you guess about how your lab partners arranged the track? I would say that the soda bottle seemed to gain speed as it went along the track since it starts at 1.7 bottles/beat, goes to 2.1 bottles/beat to 2.8 bottles/beat to finally the whole trip was 3.2 bottles/beat. Therefore, it obviously increased in speed somehow. Anything might affect the data for instance if the volume and mass decreased as it went around the track then it’s speed would increase, if its mass was increased suddenly while in route of the track then the speed would decrease. I would take a guess and say they arranged the track at angle going down for the whole length of the track …show more content…

How would this affect the data? How would this new information change your conclusions regarding the speed of the glider as it moved along the air track? Well, it would not change the actually data of the test run, but it does mean that Gabby was not actually watching and observing the experiment. Therefore, I would question the data that they received on whether it was accurate or perhaps even made up. I would want to know who recorded the data and if it was someone else, then the data is fine. However, if it were up to me I would just redo the experiment, just to be on the safe
