What was the coefficient for the smooth surface? For the rough surface?
What was the difference between the two coefficients? What caused this difference?
What factors caused a margin for human error in this investigation?
Would the coefficient vary if you tied the string to a similar object of different masses, but on the same surface? Explain.
What did you learn from this investigation? Be thoughtful in your answer.

Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of plants’ stems. which is most likely to result in the greatest amount of error in their scientific experiment? a. one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student measures the widths of the same plant stems again by using a different pair of calipers. b. one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student types the measurements as they are taken into a computer spreadsheet. c. one student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a calibrated scale. the other student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a different calibrated scale.
