Cart on a Ramp!

We did not go over the previous lesson because yesterday was pretty much a weekend and today was something new to work on. Today, we spent about half of the hour going over the blog posting and I was designated to be the first poster. After that we received a lab to work on involving a cart and a ramp.

  • We looked at the distance, velocity, and acceleration of the cart moving up the ramp given a small push. 
  • The preliminary questions were answered and gave our predictions on what we thought the graphs would turn out like, most groups also had their graphs printed off. 
  • Procedure Part I was finished. 
  • With this experiment we will figure out the position-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs which fits with our unit of kinematics. 
  • We will also be able to see if the cart maintains a constant acceleration. 
Tomorrow looks to be more promising in content as today was mostly collecting data to analyze.
