Report
Lab report #5 The purpose of this experiment was to record data and analyze the results using the capstone graphic presentation. The air system is a long straight triangular beam that supports a glider placed on top, which a cushion of air that flows through small holes on the track. We used a passport motion sensor to detect the glider through a piece of cardboard mounted on top that the sensor used to measure the position of the glider. Our job is to measure the acceleration of our cart going down or up on an incline plane. Equipment set up Materials used: Air track system with one glider, Pasport Motion Sensor, Pasco universal interface, Pasco Capstone Software, metallic slabs, and ruler. Metallic slabs we used to tilt the track.
We use the Pythagoras theorem to calculate the sine of the angle of the track. We use the ruler to measure the metallic slabs. We placed the metallic slabs under the air track.
Procedure Our group started out by measuring the metallic slabs and tilt it to the air track. We proceeded to capstone software to create a graph. Using the glider and motion sensor we checked to verify and made adjustments accordingly. We set up capstone to collect data in a position vs. time graph. We set the cart to the middle of the track. We don’t have any problems to get the U-shaped graph.

Conclusion: Our experiment was successful in collecting data in a position vs. time graph. We didn’t experienced any error and we get a nice graph to work. Personal experience: I was interesting to see how the cart goes up and down depending of how we have the metallic slabs. It was interesting how the velocity decrease and increase depending of the tilt. We learned how the concept of acceleration works and how by just changing the tilt gave us a different acceleration.
