Equipment and Materials: Phyphox app Table Tape Measure Pencil Paper binder Phone Experiment 1 Experimental Procedure a. Open the phyphox app, select acceleration without g b. Set the phone on a table with its phone case on c. Mark starting point with a pencil d. Measure 10cm from the starting point e. Start taking data and slide phone within the 10cm range and less than 15cm f. Hit stop and record data Data and Observations The phone moved from the starting point that was marked and went past the 10cm. The point where the phone moved to was marked and was measured which ended up being 10. This value was less than 15cm but greater than the

Experimental Procedure
Set up a ramp. Stack two objects on one another with the object above slightly across the one below Place phone and a phone adaptor on the object above and make sure the starting degree is at 0 Slowly tilt the object above till the adaptor reaches the critical point where the adaptor starts to move Data and calculation Starting degree (°) Critical Point (°) Trial 1 0 21 Trial 2 0 19 Trial 3 0 22 Trial 4 0 24
Average critical point = 21 + 19 + 422 + 24 = 21 °
Conclusion In experiment 1, on the acceleration vs time graph, the phone had a constant acceleration, then had a break which was from the phone gliding before coming to a stop. The uncertainty was ± 0 because the phone had moved a bit further than 10cm.
For experiment 2, with the help of the YouTube video posted, the coefficient of the static friction was 0. Four trial were done and an average of the critical point was taken.
In conclusion, the experiment was understood and performed. No sources of error were noticed during these experiments.
