Marble Ramp And Acceleration Lab

Because the marble gains speed as it travels down the ramp it has acceleration.

Marble ramp and acceleration lab.

Mark the distance. Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube. Modeling the marble ramp lab. To confirm this velocity with an independent measurement you can use a photogate.

The steepness of the incline can be measured by the ratio of height to length. Rate of acceleration is proportional to incline of ramp. In this part the distance rolled down the ramp and the angle of slope are both variables. Determine how many centimeters the marble rolled in 5 seconds.

This video shows a marble accelerating down a ramp made from two meter sticks resting on 1 textbook. Roll the marble down the longer ramp for increasing amounts of time one second two seconds three seconds etc until the time the marble goes past the end of the ramp. Our variables in which we used to determine speed was a little metal ball and a metal black ramp we placed the ball on to measure its speed. Bell ringer marble ramp lab.

We marked this ramp at each distance in which we were starting the ball from. Roll the marble from the top of the plank. A traditional fishbowl is a teaching strategy where students contribute to a discussion or activity. Measure the total length of the ramp and record in data table b as l.

Set up your lab station as follows. I choose a fishbowl to introduce this activity instead of a lecture or a recipe lab because i want students. Although the marble only has a change in speed and not direction we can still determine that acceleration occurred due to the definition. Record your distance in the data table.

By rolling a steel marble down a ramp and measuring its horizontal range you can calculate the marble s launch velocity. Physics 31210 lab 2 projectile motion introduction.
