| Source of Error Our
source of error can come three sources. The First source is
weather conditions. Even though our experiment was conducted in an
area that was safe from large drafts of wind it still could be
affected by the wind, even a slight breeze. This source of error
could explain some of the out standing results we recieved during some
trials. The next source of error is where the water hit the
target. The water did not always hit in the same place. This
can greatly affect the movement of the target. To try and correct this
we tried to always hit the target in the sme place with out moving the
angle of the hose. The final source of error is the water
pressure. The water could have changed just a small mount or
increased a samll amount which could affect the movement of the target.
Even though the water was turned up to the full level each day it still
changed on the final day I noticed the water to be a bit more
potent. The final source of error is that our measurments could
have been of by 1 degre or so. This could once agin affect the
movement of the target giving us innacurate measurements.
