Kinematics

  • Investigate how the displacement of an object rolling down an inclined plane is related to the elapsed time.
  • Determine the acceleration of an object rolling down an inclined plane through an analysis of displacement and time data.
  • Determine the acceleration due to Earth’s Gravity, g, by interpreting the acceleration an object rolling down an inclined plane as a component of g.
  • Compare the experimental value of g with the accepted value of g = 9.80 m/s2
