Marble Ramp And Acceleration Lab

Record your distance in the data table.

Marble ramp and acceleration lab.

Bell ringer marble ramp lab. This video shows a marble accelerating down a ramp made from two meter sticks resting on 1 textbook. In groups of 3 begin by picking one person to be the marble starter 1 person as distance marker watcher and one person as timer. 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.

Modeling the marble ramp lab. By rolling a steel marble down a ramp and measuring its horizontal range you can calculate the marble s launch velocity. Mark the distance. Measure the total length of the ramp and record in data table b as l.

Determine how many centimeters the marble rolled in 5 seconds. Roll the marble from the top of the plank. Physics 31210 lab 2 projectile motion introduction. Because the marble gains speed as it travels down the ramp it has acceleration.

Rate of acceleration is proportional to incline of ramp. The steepness of the incline can be measured by the ratio of height to length. Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube. In this part the distance rolled down the ramp and the angle of slope are both variables.

A traditional fishbowl is a teaching strategy where students contribute to a discussion or activity. To confirm this velocity with an independent measurement you can use a photogate. In this lab we measured the acceleration of a rolling ball down a ramp at a specific height. I choose a fishbowl to introduce this activity instead of a lecture or a recipe lab because i want students.

This relates to the lab results because as we determined the marble gained speed as it advanced down the ramp. We marked this ramp at each distance in which we were starting the ball from.
