using linest to obtain a gradient and uncertainty
June 15, 2018 08:52 - 1 second - 213 KB application/pdfThe period T of a simple pendulum can be calculated using where l is the pendulum length and g is the gravitational field strength. Using a single value of length and period, we can determine the acceleration due to gravity. However, it would be better experimental practise to vary the length of the pendulum and ... Read more

AH: the Hertzsprung Russell diagram
November 03, 2016 15:26Our Sun is a typical yellow star, so its emission would be represented by the middle star in this image. image courtesy of kstars, kde.org – colour is exaggerated The colour of a star also tells us something about the expected behaviour of a star, it’s lifetime, and destiny. This is achieved by plotting stars ... Read more
