What unit measures weight?
If mass is constant, what affects weight?
What does accuracy refer to in measurements?
If measurements are all close to each other, they are:
If a dartboard has darts spread out, it is:
A student has done the same practical you have, calibrating a newtonmeter. Please graph their results.
The results above were not necessarily accurate. How did you ensure your measurements of extension were accurate?
Fix this incorrect prediction: ‘As the weight on the spring increases, the extension will change.’
How would your experiment have been different if it had been performed on the moon?
