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.

This includes a: clamp and stand; spring and 50g mass and five 100g
masses

Make sure the results table
includes the following measurements: Mass/Kg; weight/N; length/mm and extension/mm
...
To calculate the weight, use this formula “Weight = Mass * Gravitational pull (9
...
Weight = Mass * Gravitational pull (9

81 * 0 = 0

To conclude, this graph shows that as you increase the weight of the mass on the spring, the spring
extension will increase; this is due to the positive correlation of the points on the graph
...
The plotted
point are on the line of best fit; this shows that the results are very accurate and there was very little
percentage error

Unit 6 - Assignment 2 - P4 and D4
Possible errors in the spring extension experiment:
•
Parallax error – Parallax error is the change in the apparent position of an object when the
position of the observer changes
...
This will cause the extension to change, which may affect the results and cause them to be
inaccurate
...
Also use a pointer to help read the scale on the ruler
...
•
Faulty spring – If the spring is faulty, for example, if it has been stretched to a certain length
in which it cannot go back to its original form, the results would not be accurate
...
To reduce
the percentage error, compare the spring
