In a lab experiment, the uncertainty on the slope was σslope = 0.03. The maximum slope was 0.41 and the minimum slope was 0.29. The number of data points on the graph was:?
I just dont know which formular I should use for this question. BTW: final answer is 6.
Uncertaintyslpoe = (Max. slope - Min. slope) / (Pmax - Pmin)
where, Pmax = Point at Max. slope occcur
Pmin = Point at Min. slope occcur
Now from question data-
0.03 = (0.41 - 0.29) / (Pmax - Pmin)
(Pmax - Pmin ) = 0.12/0.03 = 4
Here (Pmax - Pmin) = 4 (This value shows the point between tha Pmax and Pmin and Graph include the Pmax and Pmin also)
Than-
The number of data point = 4+2 = 6 (2 is for Pmax and Pmin)
Thankyou !!! Have fun
