I wrote light intensity, do it in the dark room to ensure the only light source is the bulb, makes sense?
I don't remember the gradient at all o_O It was point something
Yay!!!!! Even i wrote the same answer...Ditto..i hope thts correct.:D

how does measuring diameter of a coin at different points improve accuracy????
nyone else??

wat was the %uncertainity u got in the first question??
%uncertainity of the diameter was zero??

I really don't remember, damn it! Well insha Allah it'll be right, by the way what did you get the resonant frequency from the graph? And how to make it accurate? Plus, what happens when the frequency from the generator is same as the natural frequency?

The mass vibrates with a maximum amplitude..i guess.

1.6hz
How to improve it?
Time about 20 oscillations when it is vibrating with max amplitude and find the frequency. repeat the process 5 times and take avarage of it

I wrote amplitude increases, hope they treat it as the same :(
For the diameter, since it was all 25.9 measured with a vernier, so I took the estimated uncertainty for one reading (0.1), and it had to be multiplied with 2. It was three marks so I doubt it should be zero, not sure!

1.6 hz is right. The other part seems right as well...DARN!! I didnt write about timing 20 oscillations...but I did write about repeating and taking an average..:p can i gain a mark for tht?? :p

The percentage uncertaini for a vernier caliper is 0.01 mm.

Thanks, I think I mentioned that. After joining all the points in the graph I got it as 1.66 Hz.
