About this document
Roll, Roll and Away: Inclined Plane Experiment by Francoise Angelique is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides the procedure for an experiment to measure the acceleration of a tin can rolling down an inclined plane. Students will measure the time it takes for the can to travel set distances down the plane and record the data in a table. They will then graph distance vs. time and distance vs. time squared. By analyzing the graphs, they can determine the relationship between distance and time of travel and calculate the acceleration from the slope of the distance vs. time squared graph.
