Activity 5: Acceleration and Free Fall Flashcards
Why must the track in activity 5: Acceleration and Free Fall be level?
If the track were not level then gravity would be accelerating the cart.
What is freely falling motion?
Motion of a falling object being accelerated by gravity
What did you do in Activity 5: Acceleration and Free Fall?
Activity 5 used the motion sensor, accelorometer, and data studio to determine
What is the most least accurate measurement made in this experiment?
The least accurate measurement made was the measurement for length, to determine the angle of include for the track it was difficult to determine where the track touched the table.
Friction was ignored as the cart rolled down the track in this experiment. How does ignoring friction affect the results.
Friction would slow the cart, which resulted in a slower acceleration was less than the calculated acceleration.
