Acceleration
Physics textbook NelsonCengage 4/5: page 86 to 89
Aim
To investigate the speed of a ball as it rolls down a ramp.
Hypothesis:
Make a hypothesis
Method
1. Choose an angle for your ramp.
2. Place a ruler on the ramp lengthwise, so that you can see it from the side-view of the ramp.
3. Record a video of the side-view of a ball rolling down a ramp. Include video footage of the ball before it is released.
4. Analyse the ball's motion in loggerPro3.
Results
Draw a graph of Distance versus time.
Draw a graph of Velocity versus time.
Write a conclusion: - Include a comment on the hypothesis.
- Describe each graph.
Do problem-solving for acceleration using worksheet and solutions
