  1. The Inclined Plane Lab Starter The expression for the acceleration of this block down the frictionless incline is: a = gsin(q) Does this expression make sense for q=0 and q=90o? Explain in writing.

  2. How to find the angle for the inclined track. Measure h1, h2,and L. Then q = tan-1 ( (h2 – h1)/ L) )

  3. Application Design a lab to test the theoretical expression for the acceleration down an incline. Available Equipment: Ramps Cars Extra Mass Motion Detector Do at least 6 trials to determine how the acceleration depends on the mass of the car and the angle of the incline. This lab goes in your science notebook.

  4. This lab goes in your science notebook. Lab Report Items Data table Calculations Questions: 1. How does the acceleration depend on the mass of the car? 2. Do your results show any evidence of friction? Explain. 3. Place one example graph of v vs. t in your notebook. Exit : Summarize your results.
