Acceleration Cart
The Goal of this practical record is to rotate a car on a slope of 15, 30, 45. The Results then used to make a Ticker-tape graph, Displacement-time graphs, and Velocity-Time graphs with the results which have been obtained. This will likely show the effects on the cart and exactly how the different areas of the cart can be effected, (such as the Velocity of the cart, Displacement of the cart and the acceleration of the cart. )
Ticker-timers can help review the cart's motion as the dots on the ticker tape can tell various things such as: The displacement of the cart, the time taken because of its total journey, the acceleration of the cart and the speed of the cart.
The Incline aircraft is a tilted surface which an thing (in this case a cart) will slip down. The angle of the incline plane is measured from the horizontal surface to the plank used for the cart to move down. THE HIGHER the incline of the plank results to a larger acceleration while the smaller the incline of the plank will lead to an inferior acceleration. If friction is deduced then at least 2 makes are acted upon an object to go the object, the pressure of gravity and the normal force.
The force of gravity- The pressure of gravity is also called the weight works in a downward direction.
The normal force- The normal force works in a direction perpendicular to the top.
Galileo acquired put this to the ensure that you conducted visit with the willing planes. After he had completed the prac several times he had seen that 'the timeframe it required for the ball to rotate down the whole amount of the ramp equal to double the amount of time it had taken for the same ball to only move 25 % of the length. ' He previously concluded with: 'If an subject is released from break and gains acceleration at a steady rate, then your total distance travelled by the object is proportional to the time squared needed for that travel.
- Ticker Timer, Power Pack, Wire connections (2), G clamp.
- Paper Tape, Sticky Tape
- Wooden Ramp
- Trolley
- Find a destination to put the real wood ramp.
- Secure the Ticker timer with a G-clamp to the real wood ramp.
- Connect the ticker timer to the energy pack. (Be sure you connect to the AC slots and also have your volts place to 12V)
- Get some ticker tape, 60 cm should be adequate, and attach it to your cart with some tape.
- Thread the tape through the ticker timer, making sure the tape should go under the carbon paper and not over.
- Turn the power bank on, which should change the ticker timer on and forget about the cart.
Make sure someone is there to capture the cart or it might ruin the cart.
- Remove the tape from the cart and you should have a ticker tape with multiple blue dots.
- Do this for each and every group member
Repeat the procedure for different perspectives
You must do for angles 15, 30 and 45.
15 Incline
The ticker tape for the cart going down a 15 incline gets the least space between the dots from the 3 inclines examined. It is because the acceleration on the 15 incline is minimal. As the acceleration is the least this means that the velocity would be the smallest at confirmed time out of the 3 inclines.
The condition of the displacement-time graph demonstrates the cart is accelerating, this is viewed as the graph's gradient is increasing. For the Ticker-Tape Graph, there's a constant upsurge in the gradient displaying that the cart is accelerating at a continuous acceleration. Lastly the Velocity-Time Graph the series is mostly the same gradient exhibiting that there surely is a constant acceleration.
30 Incline
The ticker tape for the cart heading down 30 incline has averagely measured spaces between your dot from the 3 different inclines analyzed.
The form of the displacement-time graph is similar to the 15 incline graph but this graph picks has a greater gradient in the end and reaches an increased velocity, it is because because the incline is higher than it means there will be more acceleration. For the Ticker-timer graph the places between different parts of the tapes are similar and therefore the gradient is constant. This is the same for Velocity-Time graph, as the gradient ranges a bit but is mainly constant.
45 Incline
The ticker tape for the cart heading down a 45 has the most space meaning that this cart was traveling the fastest out of all the three carts.
The shape of the Displacement-Time Graph for the 45 incline gets the biggest gradient out of the three and therefore it had reached the highest velocity from the three. The shape of the Ticker-Timer is having a reliable upsurge in the velocity so this means it had frequent acceleration. This is seen in the Velocity-Time Graph.
The Gradient of the Displacement-time graph shown the velocity of the cart, since the range is a curved line to get the gradient 'tangent' would have to be calculated to get the instantaneous velocity.
The gradient of any Velocity-Time graph shows the acceleration of the cart.
When all 9 graphs are likened, it could be seen that the higher the incline means the create the speed reached and the higher the acceleration of the cart.
The results for this prac can vary within the class as of human being error, the sides assessed weren't 100% exact meaning that there could be variations for the perspectives which causes variants of the quickness come to by the carts.
This Prac had been completed efficiently and without any major errors. It was learnt that in an Incline is planes is a tilted surface which an object will glide down, it was also learnt that the angle of the incline is assessed from the horizontal surface to the planked used. Galileo experienced put this to the test and conducted various tests using the incline aircraft. Improvements that may be made are that the measuring of the angle could greatly become more accurate as the protractors used for the prac were just hard quotes for the viewpoint.
