Elevator Data Form

The document provides instructions for an activity where students ride in an elevator in the physics building and observe a spring scale and mass to record measurements. Students are asked to fill out a table with their observations of the scale readings at different points in the elevator's movement between floors. They must sign and date the form, which is required to bring to the practical or risk losing a mark.

Mechanics Module 3 Activity 2 Preparation

Take a ride in one of the elevators in the tower of the Physics building, McLennan Labs. Observe the spring scale with a mass hanging from it as the elevator goes up and down the tower. Fill in your observations in the table below and sign and date this form at the bottom. Please bring the completed form to the Practical. Failure to bring this completed form to your Practical will cause a deduction of one mark from your Practical mark.

Elevator number Lowest floor when you were in the elevator Highest floor when you were in the elevator Write down the reading of the scale when the elevator is at rest. Include an error in the value. When the elevator starts from rest and starts moving to a higher floor, the mass will oscillate around some central value. Write down that central value and an error in this value. Write down the central value and error when the elevator is moving up and slows down as it approaches a floor where it will stop. Write down the central value and error when the elevator starts from rest and starts moving to a lower floor. Write down the central value and error when the elevator is moving down and slows down as it approaches a floor where it will stop. I certify that I took the above data by actually riding one of the elevators in the Physics building and observing the spring scale and mass.
