Systematic Errors in an Air Track Experiment.
Ramirez, Santos A.; Ham, Joe S.
Physics Teacher, v28 n9 p602-03 Dec 1990
Errors found in a common physics experiment to measure acceleration resulting from gravity using a linear air track are investigated. Glider position at release and initial velocity are shown to be sources of systematic error. (CW)
