physics assesment, little question (1 Viewer)

[beaubrah]

soo I got a pendulum assessment on Friday and there's a theory part.
we have to find the remaining sections of a table based on orbital velocity questions like plugging in values and getting the answer. However the second part of the question asked about the reliability of these table results. I'm really confused what that means

Lol everyone has been asking about these pracs lately. There's a few threads about pracs (especially the pendulum one) which you can look through in the space section:

To your specific prac, I'm guessing you are fine with orbital velocity now and you should be ok with filling in that table at this stage.

Well reliability is related to how consistent a set of results are. So repetition is required. So to have good relaibility, you would have obtained very close answers given different sets of information. If the results had quite a large variance, then you can't conclude the results as reliable from your experiment.
