see what the er says :D
well anyway...we'll carry out this whole procedure IF we have time in the end ;) otherwise it's better that we lose one mark [may be] and solve the rest of the paper :p
Hmm!
(y)

But the m.s never said anything abt deducting marks if the candidate hasnt done it!
So they must award marks :p

Guys i have a question. The points we plot on the graph, should they be crosses or encircled dots or perhaps both are acceptable?
CIE prefers encircled dots...it gives a better impression to the graph than just putting crosses..

One major confusion am dealing with in P3 is if in the question paper the values are given in 'cm' should we continue the rest of the calculations and draw the graph by converting the values into 'm' or leave it to 'cm'? :cautious:

2 basic inprovement r repeat experiment plot a grape reduces inaccuracy , if ossiclation r then use of motion sensor to find when 1 ossilation complte basic error r few values to reach the conclusion 2..few values leads to more inaccuracy 3..if ossilation then ossilaction dies away and difficult to determine when one ossilation is completed these r basic ones and the rest depend upon the experiment

Mostly the caliper r of .05 mm or.02mm so the error depend upon the division
If 1 division is .05mm then error is .05/10 (10 becuz 1cm converted to mm
If per division is .02 then .02/10
