Marble Ramp And Acceleration Lab

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.

Marble ramp and acceleration lab.

Bell ringer marble ramp lab. Although the marble only has a change in speed and not direction we can still determine that acceleration occurred due to the definition. Physics 31210 lab 2 projectile motion introduction. Because the marble gains speed as it travels down the ramp it has acceleration.

Roll the marble from the top of the plank. Set up your lab station as follows. Rate of acceleration is proportional to incline of ramp. Modeling the marble ramp lab.

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

A traditional fishbowl is a teaching strategy where students contribute to a discussion or activity. I choose a fishbowl to introduce this activity instead of a lecture or a recipe lab because i want students. Measure the total length of the ramp and record in data table b as l. By rolling a steel marble down a ramp and measuring its horizontal range you can calculate the marble s launch velocity.

We marked this ramp at each distance in which we were starting the ball from. 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. Determine how many centimeters the marble rolled in 5 seconds.

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. To confirm this velocity with an independent measurement you can use a photogate.
