Scientific question: How does the incline of a slope influence the acceleration of a cart when it travels down a wooden plank? Introduction: What is an incline plane? Commonly referred to as a ramp or a slope‚ an incline plane is an even surface that is titled at an angle. An object placed on the tilted surface will often slide down the surface‚ accelerating because of an unbalanced force. The rate at which an object travels down the slope is dependent upon how tilted the slope is; the greater

Law of Acceleration (1907) by Henry Adams (1838-1918) Images are not arguments‚ rarely even lead to proof‚ but the mind craves them‚ and‚ of late more than ever‚ the keenest experimenters find twenty images better than one‚ especially if contradictory; since the human mind has already learned to deal in contradictions. The image needed here is that of a new center‚ or preponderating mass‚ artificially introduced on earth in the midst of a system of attractive forces that previously

Abstract This purpose of this experiment was to observe the relationship between centripetal acceleration‚ centripetal force‚ and a mass M. In this experiment we used a circular motion apparatus that had a plumb bob attached to a metal shaft (that connected the plumb bob to the vertical shaft) and spring. We found the centripetal force from the spring when it was in circular motion. We hung masses off a pulley system that was attached to the plumb bob until the plumb bob was perpendicular to the

relative to you‚ the car you pass has an acceleration a to the west. However‚ the driver of the other car is maintaining a constant speed and direction relative to the road. Is the reference frame of your car an inertial one? If not‚ in which direction (east or west) is your car accelerating relative to the other car? Determine the Concept No. You are in a non-inertial frame that is accelerating to the east‚ opposite the other car’s apparent acceleration. 3 • [SSM] You are riding in a limousine that

experimentally examined the concept of acceleration. One of his goals was to learn more about freely falling objects. Unfortunately‚ his timing devices were not precise enough to allow him to study free fall directly. Therefore‚ he decided to limit the acceleration by using fluids‚ inclined planes‚ and pendulums. In this lab exercise‚ you will see how the acceleration of a rolling ball or cart depends on the ramp angle. Then‚ you will use your data to extrapolate to the acceleration on a vertical “ramp;” that

Theory: Gravitational acceleration is constant on Earth g=9.8m/s2 Therefore‚ when the golf ball is dropped‚ the acceleration will be equal to gravitational acceleration agb=9.8m/s2 Given there is no air resistance‚ this means that when the golf ball is dropped from a given distance‚ according to the formulas‚ the golf ball will accelerate

experiment will show how to determine the linear motion with constant (uniform) velocity particularly the dynamic cart and linear motion with constant (uniform) acceleration‚ (e.g. free fall of motion). At the end of the experiment we found out that the velocity is a speed that involves direction of an object as well as the time. While for the acceleration‚ it is directly proportional to the distance or height but inversely proportional to the time. By close observations‚ recording of data and right computations

CHAPTER 1: Introduction‚ Measurement‚ Estimating Answers to Questions 1. (a) Fundamental standards should be accessible‚ invariable‚ indestructible‚ and reproducible. A particular person’s foot would not be very accessible‚ since the person could not be at more than one place at a time. The standard would be somewhat invariable if the person were an adult‚ but even then‚ due to swelling or injury‚ the length of the standard foot could change. The standard would not be indestructible – the foot would

The experiment that was conducted was primarily about Newton’s second law of motion. Newton’s second law of motion states that a net force is required for a body to have acceleration. If a net force is applied on an object‚ then the object will accelerate with respect to the direction of the said force. The body’s acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to its mass. The experiment conducted was used to verify the relationships specified in Newton’s second
