<!--EXCEL SPREADSHEET
PMT function - calculates a payment due based on interest rates and amount of
payments to be made
syntax =pmt(rate/amount of payment in a year, total amount of payments,NEGATIVE
amount owed )
example =pmt(15/12,120,-50000)
Absolute Referrencing- simply a referrence where the coordinates for the row
and column stay constant
idk how they'd change but yeh to refer to a row and column which stay
constant this is done by addings $ in front the addresses.
E.g. $D$2
This is primarily used when one piece of info will be used in multiple places
at once
Mixed Referrencing- a referrence where the coordinates for the row OR the
column stay constant.
E.g. $D2 or D$2
ive now realized the use of these excel has a tendency of autofilling
information based on a patter when u paste something so if u were to paste d1 in a
row if u tried to paste in the row below it it would like put d2 following the
pattern.
Filtering - as the name suggests filters records that are on a worksheet. Keeping
certain informationn and getting rid of excess based on a set criteria.
We have auto filter and advance filter
Advance Filter - with this you can input the records you want to be filtered,
the location of the criteria to use when filtering and whether or not you want the
filtered table to take place of the original table or be copied to another location
Steps in advanced filtering
1. Create the criteria table( jus the table u wanna filter doe mek the big
fool fool words confuse u)
2. Highlight or select the area where you are taking data from
3. Select data on the menu bar(at the top)
4. Select data then Filter option
5. Select Advanced filter, there will be a pop up
6. Click on the first button
7. Enter the area to be used in the filter
8. Cick on the same button to back in the filter options
9. Click the next button immediately below
11. Select copy to another location at the top of the box
12. Click on the arrowe In the "copy to section" to select where you want
the data to go
13.Click on the same button again
14. Select ok

Storage
Primary Storage
Secondary Storage- otherwise know as backup storage is meant to store data or
information when it is not being processed or better said when not being used. From
this i can infer that this a permanent form of data storing. Examples of some
secondary storage devices are Hard Drives, Solid State Drives, CD DVD Bluray,
Floppy disk ETC.
To compare different secondary storage devices one must focus on three terms,
Its 1. Speed - this refers to how fast the information stored can be accessed
or located when needed
Speaking of being able to access information there are 2 main ways computer
systems are able to access information that is stored.
Direct(Random) Access and Sequential Access
Direct or Random access is where any piece of information can be
accessed without the need of going through multiple data to get it. It can be
located Directly
Sequential Access is the need of going through a sequence of or
multiple data to get to a specific pice of data
2.Storage Capacity - this refers to the amount of data that can be stored
on the storage device
3.Portability- this refers to how easy it would be to transfer the device
or data on the device between computer systems
Last thing we have storage devices and storage media.
The difference is that the storage media is the physical component which the
storage devices reads information to and from. Examples Include
Hard DISK drive, Floppy DISK drive and CD-ROM drives

<!--INFORMATION PROCESSING
TYPES OF ERRORS
Transmisson error- their is an issue when the transmitting of data is carried
out when data is sent from one device to another the data that was sent is differnt
from what was recieceved due to a degredation of signal

Procedure:
1.Measure the mass of the ball
2.Allow the meter ruller to stand such that it is leveled
3.Place the ball at 100cm then release the ball
4.Record the rebound height
5.Repeat 3 times and take an average for the readings
6.Repeat the procedure for the same height then take an average
7.Repeat the steps 2-5 for 90-60cm
7.Tabulate the data
9.Plot a graph of inital height against rebound height
Method:
1)A Student must measure the mass of the ball whilst taking any calibration
errors into consideration and also checking thoroughly for variations of uniformity
in the ball.
2)On the smooth leveled surface student must make use of the set square to be an
artificial wall and while another braces the ruler vertically against its vertical
side.
3)Raise the ball to the 100cm mark(top)of the ruler ensuring the bottom of the
ball is inline by being at eye level then release the ball.
4)Another Student must be squatted or seated being initially eye level with the
center of the ruler and as accurately as possible trail the balls ascension to get
the rebound height
5)Students must repeat the following strategy thrice and average out all
readings(a) and repeating again to take an average of both(b). Average a and b

Data Analysis:
State the law of conservation of energy:
the law of conservation of energy states that energy cant be created nor
destroyed it can only be transferred between mediums and if a system is isolated
its total energy should be constant despite of any internal changes
What observation can be made about the rebound height and the inital height of the
ball?
To future steven i havent done the table yet but i can infer that the intial
height of the ball will be directly proportional to its rebound height provided its
bounced off the same surface and there are not any parts in the ball dented or
lacking uniformity
and also the rebound height will have a decrease in height from the initial
height on by a relative scale meaning the difference will be around the same
Sources of error:
1.Systematic error: imperfect scale calibration
2. The ball having a small unnoticable dent
Precaution:
1.Calculate the inaccuracy of the scale to subtract from the final amount for
accurate calculations.
2.Thoroughly check the ball to ensure it is uniformed
