 The report should have the following five sections. Each section must be written by a separate student. The whole report must be in a single Google Colab file and attached from Google Drive into the associated Google Classroom assignment.

 Using the five measurements you will have to calculate the following quantities.
-==== - Time and velocity ====
+==== - Velocity ====
 First, calculate the time for the ball to leave the ramp and reach point A which is $t = \sqrt{2y/g}$.
 Horizontal component of the acceleration of the ball $a_x=0$, so the horizontal velocity of the ball $ v_x = s/t$. The vertical velocity of the ball just before it hits the table at point A would be $ v_y = -gt = -\sqrt{2gh}$.
-From the maximum height $h$, you can calculate the time it took for the marble to go from points A to B. We know $h=gt'^2/4$ and therefore $t' = \sqrt{4h/g}$. So the horizontal velocity of the ball would be $ v_x = (s'-s)/t'$. And the vertical component of the velocity of the ball after it leaves point A is $ v_y' = g t' / 2 $.
+From the maximum height $h$, you can calculate the time it took for the marble to go from points A to B ($t'$). We know $h=gt'^2/4$ and therefore $t' = \sqrt{4h/g}$. So the horizontal velocity of the ball after leaving A would be $ v_x' = (s'-s)/t'$. And the vertical component of the velocity of the ball after it leaves point A is $ v_y' = g t' / 2 $.
-So the net velocity of the ball before it impacts at A is $v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$. And the net velocity of the ball after it impacts at A is $v' = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y'^2}$.
+So the net velocity of the ball before it impacts at A is $v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$. And the net velocity of the ball after it impacts at A is $v' = \sqrt{v_x'^2+v_y'^2}$.
 The angle of the trajectory before reaching A is $ \theta = \tan^{-1}(v_y/v_x) $ and after leaving A $ \theta' = \tan^{-1}(v_y'/v_x')$.

+Vertical component of the momentum before reaching A $P_x'=mv_x'$ and after leaving A $P'_x = mv'_x$.

 ==== - Discussion ====
+Answer the following questions:
+  - What is the difference between systematic and stochastic error? Which errors in this experiment are systematic and which are stochastic?
+  - Why is $\delta s' > \delta h > \delta s$?
+  - Which velocity is greater, before reaching point A or after leaving A?
+  - Is the impulse positive or negative? Why?
