Measurements and Uncertainties Course
Master measurements and uncertainties through a hands-on pendulum experiment. Gain skills to quantify errors, propagate uncertainties, assess sensitivity, compare results to accepted g values, and create better setups for accurate, professional physics work. This course builds strong foundations for precise scientific analysis in real-world scenarios.

What will I learn?
This practical course teaches you to design a precise pendulum experiment, measure length and period accurately, quantify uncertainties using statistical methods, propagate errors to find g, build error budgets, compare with standard values, and report results in a clear, reproducible way for better future measurements.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Uncertainty propagation: calculate g using partial derivatives and relative errors.
- Error budgets: identify main error sources and improve pendulum measurements quickly.
- Statistical tests for agreement: rigorously compare measured g to standard values.
- Precision timing and length measurement: plan repeated trials and calculate 1-sigma errors.
- Professional lab reports: display g ± u(g), units, significant figures, and percent error.
