WORKED MODELWORKED SOURCE

Pendulum uncertainty

Ten periods take 20.4 s with stopwatch uncertainty +/-0.2 s. Period T=2.04 s and timing uncertainty per period is about +/-0.02 s.

  1. Divide total time and absolute uncertainty by 10.
  2. Report consistent precision.
  3. Repeated periods reduce reaction-time fraction.

Which report is appropriate?
