Overview This experiment investigates motion on an inclined surface, helping to determine acceleration and frictional effects. The force acting on an object on an incline is given by:
F∥=mg sin(θ)
Where:
F∥ is the component of gravitational force parallel to the incline,
m is the mass of the object,
g is the acceleration due to gravity,
θ is the incline angle.
Significance Inclined planes are essential in engineering and physics to understand mechanics, motion, and frictional forces.
