Dynamics Cart Accessory Track Set
Experiment 8: Acceleration Down an Incline
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
– Dynamics Cart with Mass (ME-9430)
– Dynamics Cart Track
– Base and Support rod (ME-9355)
– Meter stick
– Stopwatch
– Graph paper
Purpose
The purpose is to study how the acceleration of an object down an incline de-
pends on the angle of the incline and to obtain the acceleration due to gravity.
Theory
A cart on an incline will roll down the incline as it is pulled by grav-
ity. The acceleration due to gravity is straight down as shown in Figure
8.1. The component of gravity which is parallel to the inclined surface is
g sin
θ
, so this is the net acceleration of the cart, neglecting friction.
To measure the acceleration, the cart will be started from rest and the
time (
t
) it takes for it to travel a certain distance (
d
) will be measured.
Then since
d
= (
1
⁄
2
)at
2
, the acceleration can be calculated using
a

Then a plot of acceleration versus sin
θ
should give a straight line with
a slope equal to the acceleration due to gravity,
g
.
Procedure
➀
Set up the track as shown in Figure 8.2, raising the end of the track without an end stop
about 10 cm.
➁
Set the cart on the track against the end stop and record this final position of
the cart at the top of Table 8.1.
➂
Pull the cart up to the top of the track and record the initial position where
the cart will be released from rest.
➃
Release the cart from rest and use the stopwatch to time how long
it takes the cart to hit the end stop. The person who
releases the cart should also operate the stop-
watch. Repeat this measurement 10 times
(with different people doing the
timing). Record all the
values in Table 8.1.
➄
Lower the end of the track
by 1 cm and measure the
time 10 times.
➅
Repeat the experiment for
a total of 7 angles,
