Marble Ramp And Acceleration Lab

This video shows a marble accelerating down a ramp made from two meter sticks resting on 1 textbook.

Marble ramp and acceleration lab.

Modeling the marble ramp lab. Bell ringer marble ramp lab. This relates to the lab results because as we determined the marble gained speed as it advanced down the ramp. Determine how many centimeters the marble rolled in 5 seconds.

Record your distance in the data table. Mark the distance. 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. Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube.

We marked this ramp at each distance in which we were starting the ball from. Because the marble gains speed as it travels down the ramp it has acceleration. Rate of acceleration is proportional to incline of 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.

A traditional fishbowl is a teaching strategy where students contribute to a discussion or activity. 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. Set up your lab station as follows.

In this lab we measured the acceleration of a rolling ball down a ramp at a specific height. In this part the distance rolled down the ramp and the angle of slope are both variables. 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. Although the marble only has a change in speed and not direction we can still determine that acceleration occurred due to the definition.

Roll the marble from the top of the plank. Measure the total length of the ramp and record in data table b as l.
