Laboratory report 1Using the Vernier Lab Pro interface and Logger Pro data collection softwarePhysics 261 001Author: Ashley WilhiteLab partners: Jamal Singleton12 /09/13ObjectiveThe objective of this laboratory is to get used to using the Logger Pro data collection software and the Lab Pro interface. The ideas of averaging constant data and finding standard deviation will be introduced. This lab will teach the use of different tools such as the linear fit and statistics tools in Logger Pro. Another goal is to introduce the construction of tables and charts in Excel. The software will work cohesively to construct organized data collected in the laboratory. Theory When there is heat exchange between two objects, the temperature of the object changes. The rate at which this change will occur occurs according to Newton's law of heating and cooling. This law states that the rate of temperature change is directly proportional between the two objects. Data from this laboratory will show that an object will remain in a state of thermal equilibrium, unless the object comes into contact with another object of a different temperature. Newton's law of heat and cooling can be understood using this formula: Eq(1) The original temperature of the thermometer before contacting an external object is represented by T. ∆T/∆t is the average temperature of the digital thermometer. represents the temperature of the object circulating heat. In this laboratory, the air temperature is represented by Tair=T. To= Thand is the hand temperature.ProcedureWe must first begin today's lab by connecting the thermometer that digitally detects the surrounding temperature to the Lab Pro interface located on the computer via..... . middle of paper..... . : The difference in slope is positively correlated with lower temperature. This slope becomes apparent. Conclusions Over the fifty seconds observed, there is consistency between the temperatures. Without a calculated percentage error, we can assume that the average temperature was twenty-six degrees Celsius. Certain factors could have caused errors in our data collection. One factor could be that the room temperature was not consistent throughout the room. Another factor could be the performance of the thermometer. The grip with which the thermometer was held for procedure B may also be a factor. The data collected during Procedure A was able to produce a relatively straight line. Even though there are few spurious points, there is a positive correlation. This laboratory was able to support Newton's law of heating and cooling..
