Question

7. You probably had difficulty in measuring the period, yet its calculation should prove effortless at this point. Why do you suspect there is difficulty in the measurement

Answer 1

Answer:

* First fight the reaction time of the person, which is approximately 1/10 s, remember that the stopwatch does not stop alone

* Problems to synchronize when starting to measure the oscillation and end point of the oscilloscope, this error needs a good control system to be decreased.

*Effect of friction with air

Explanation:

In the measurements of the oscillatory movement in general, the most difficult magnitude of the measurement is the period, by reasoning

* First fight the reaction time of the person, which is approximately 1/10 s, remember that the stopwatch does not stop alone

* Problems to synchronize when starting to measure the oscillation and end point of the oscilloscope, this error needs a good control system to be decreased.

* Effect of friction with air
