Question

If there is friction on a cart going up an incline at a small angle (3 degrees), the experimental value for the acceleration due to gravity is said to be.

a.) smaller than the actual value

b.) larger than the actual value

c.) the experiemental value should not depend on friction.

d.) can be either smaller or larger

If there is friction on the cart and its incline is an angle no greater than 15 degrees, what is the experimental value of acceleration due to gravity?

a.) smaller than the actual value

b.) larger than the actual value

c.) the experimental value should not depend on friction

d.) can either be smaller or larger

Explanation / Answer

Q1.

b.) larger than the actual value

Q2.

b.) larger than the actual value

The reason is the more steep the incline is, the lesser u need to balance mg.
