Cart on a Ramp Argument Essay The experiment can be used to determine the acceleration due to gravity accurately when the slope of the ramp is extrapolated to 90 degrees. Experimentally‚ the acceleration due to gravity is valid because when the ramp is set to a 90 degree angle‚ it essentially has no slope‚ so objects that are set at a 90 degree angle experience free-fall which is 9.8 m/s2. Using this knowledge‚ during the experiment if the ramp is set at a higher slope‚ it is essentially approaching
