Title: BTEC Applied Science Unit 6 Assignment 2
Description: Unit 6: Using Mathematical Tools for Science – Assignment 2 Data Collection Methods Task 1 Carry out an experiment to measure the extension of a spring as different loads are added to it. You need to draw up a suitable results table showing mass, weight, and extension This provides evidence for P3 Task 2 Use the internet to find data on the number and type of space launches to the International Space Station. Present your findings in a suitable results table This provides evidence for P3 Task 3 Make a list of possible errors in the spring experiment This provides evidence for P4 Task 4 Write detailed methods for how you collected the data in the spring experiment and the space station information This provides evidence for M3 Task 5 Calculate the size of the errors in the spring experiment. You will need to work out absolute and percentage errors for three values of mass, weight and spring extension This provides evidence for M4 Task 6 Compare the different methods of data collection used in the spring experiment and space station information. You should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods This provides evidence for D3 Task 7 Explain how errors can be minimised in the spring experiment This provides evidence for D4 Exam board is Pearson ALL ASSIGNMENTS I HAVE UPLOADED ARE DISTINCTION GRADED.

Mass error – If the masses do not weigh their correct weight, for example, if a 50g mass
weighed 52

To reduce the percentage error, check that the masses weigh the same as marked (if not

Length error – If the markings on the ruler are not accurate, for example 1mm on the ruler
may actually be 1
...
To reduce the percentage error, compare the ruler to different rulers to ensure
the markings are accurate

...
There is really no need to reduce this percentage
error, as it will not make a big difference
...
This may cause the extension to
change, which may affect the results and cause them to be inaccurate
...
Spring bouncing – After the mass was put on the spring, it is likely to bounce up and down
...
To
reduce this percentage error, make sure that before measuring the extension, that the
weight is not swinging or bouncing (or moving in anyway)
...
This may also apply if the diameter of the
spring was different, or the cross sectional area of the spring was different
...
If the spring is damages, use masses to compare the
extensions between the springs, so that there will be no significant change in results
...
This may affect the results and
cause them to be inaccurate

If the
spring is damages, use masses to compare the extensions between the springs, so that there
will be no significant change in results

05 * 100 = 5%
Mass:
Mass = 100g
Percentage error in mass (%) = (2/100) * 100% = 2%
Extension:
Percentage error in extension (80mm) (%) = (1/80) * 100 = 1
