  1. Inclined Plane

  2. Problem Does the angle of the incline a marble is rolled down affect the average distance traveled and maximum speed attained?

  3. Procedure • Using a protractor, set the ramp to an incline of 30 degrees. • Place the marble at the top of the ramp. • Etc.

  4. Results

  5. Results

  6. Analysis • Increased ramp angle • Marble’s descent height also increased • Marble’s potential energy greatest at a 30 degree angle • Greater potential energy translated into correspondingly greater kinetic energy • Caused the marble to travel the farthest and fastest when rolled down the steepest incline.
