H Exp – Mechanics 02B – Measurement of Acceleration

Aim – To find the relationship between the angle of slope and acceleration

Instructions

▪ Release the trolley from the top of the slope 5 times
▪ In each case note the value of the acceleration
▪ Calculate the mean value of the acceleration
▪ Knowing the length of the slope and the height of the slope, calculate the sine of the angle of the slope
▪ Increase the angle of the slope and repeat the experiment
▪ Continue increasing the angle of the slope and in each case find the mean acceleration and the sine of the angle of the slope
▪ Use an appropriate format to find the relationship between the angle of the slope and the acceleration
