Question
Can you help me out with how to find acceleration, I'm not too sure if it's Also are my velocity alright as well?Thank you kinematics Lab Measurement of Acceleration on an Inclined Plane (1) Incline the track by a few degrees by placing a book under one end (screw both feet in). (2) Set up two photo-gates along the track and record the distance Ax between gates. (3) For each distance measure th time it takes the tlag to pass through the gates (At and At2) Compute the initial and final velocities (v1 and vz) (4) From the velocities and distances, calculate the acceleration. Show which equation you are using to calculate this. (5) Repeat steps 3 and 4 for different distances between gates. Length of cart's flag that passes through gate Atz (s) vi Average value of acceleration Graphing Position, Velocity & Acceleration For the cart going down the track, draw a rough sketch of the Position vs. Time, Velocity vs. Time, and Acceleration vs. Time in the graphs below. Let the positive direction be down the plane' and let x z o be the initial position of the cart.
Explanation / Answer
In instructions, they told you to calculate acceleration from distance " s "& velocity v
=> Use kinematic expression involving s, v & a
=> V2^2 -V1^2 =2*a*s => a =( V2^2 -V1^2) /(2*s )
Use this to get a
