Physics Dr Marble Ramp Lab

The students mark off the position of the marble after 1 s 2 s 3 s and 4 s.

Physics 31210 lab 2 projectile motion introduction. We marked this ramp at each distance in which we were starting the ball from. Melanie rolls a 10g marble down a ramp and off the table with horizontal velocity of 1 2m s. In this lab you will roll a marble down a ramp and at the bottom of the ramp the marble will collide with another marble.

In this lab we measured the acceleration of a rolling ball down a ramp at a specific height. In this experiment the inclined plane makes work easier by allowing gravity without any help from you to move the marble down the ramp. Using the psworks photogate timer students record the transit times of a marble at different positions along the marble ramp. This allows them to see the difference in displacement for each second the marble has traveled.

Students will use a marble ramp laboratory experiment to demonstrate an understanding of work and energy. Meter stick to measure distances. A second experiment is performed by using the ramp as a projectile launcher. Books to keep ramp in place and to make sure the marble doesn t fall off the table.

An example of potential energy is a stretched out rubber band the farther you stretch it the more potential energy it has. Photogate ramp labquest rulers marble we will construct the ramp and set up the photogate and perform the experiment to get the data. This lab activity involves rolling a marble down a ramp where the students can investigate constant acceleration motion. Table where we place the ramp and where marble will roll off from.

Data data table include several trials picture of your lab set up. 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. How high is the table. Kindly show me the solution and how you did it.

A convenient catcher at the bottom of the ramp stops the ball after each trial. Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object. My answer was 0 07m it was wrong. By rolling a steel marble down a ramp and measuring its horizontal range you can calculate the marble s launch velocity.

Then we will upload our data to our individual weeblys. The marble falls into a cup placed 0 51m from the table s edge. Marble the round object that will go on the ramp to give us results.
