PHYS 1403
INTRODUCTION
In this lab, we learn about an
inclined plane
and the
forces that act on an object
on a
ramp. To accomplish this, we will construct a model for how the forces act, examine the
model, and we will uncover a technique called
extrapolation
to test the model.
MATERIALS
●
Ramp
●
Low-Friction Cart
●
Track
●
Force Gauge
●
String
●
Protractor
PROCEDURE
1.
Allow the video to play to watch the full phenomena.
2.
We will now be recording our data into a graph of both our
angle (degrees)
and
tension (N)
. To do this, we will be going in
increments of 2
on our force gauge.
Our initial values are 0 degrees and 0 N (0,0).. To obtain our second set of values,
move the force gauge until it is on 2. Then, click the tools icon and select the
protractor and measure the angle
(5 degrees
). *Continue this process until you
have collected 8 data points.
3.
Now, we will
extend our model
which simply means that the ramp angle is
increased up to 90 degrees. Again, do the same steps as above until you have 9
data points collected.
DATA & DATA ANALYSIS
Table & Graph 1: Tension vs Angle
The table and graph below demonstrate our angle and tension values on a tilted ramp.
From this data, we were able to obtain the following function that describes how the
force varies as the angle changes
: F(
θ
)=mgsin
θ
, T=mgsin
θ
, T=mg
θ
(Constant x
θ
). We
obtain a linear graph.
Graph 2: Tension vs Angle
The table and graph below display the
relationship between force and angle
; however,
in this model, our r
amp angle has increased up to 90 degrees.
Once we have plotted
our data, we get a
parabola
which is why the best function that would fit the data would
be
quadratic
.

Graph 3: Tension vs Sine of Angle
Below, our table and graph based on our new data
, sine of angle
, shows better accuracy
as we obtain a linear graph. In addition, The slope of the line is mg, its significance is that
it represents that it is constant. The general equation for the component of the force
gravity directed parallel to the ramp is
F=mgsin
θ
.
CONCLUSION
The purpose of this experiment was to learn and understand the forces that act on an
object when on an inclined ramp, and to explore the technique, extrapolation. We were
able to perform a lab using an interactive video from which we were able to obtain three
different graphs. In our first graph, we collected data (angle and tension values), on a
tilted ramp; the data describes how the
force varies as the angle changes
: T=mg
θ
. In the
second graph, we get a
parabola
which indicates that a
quadratic function
is the best fit
for our data. We have a parabola because our data is based on a ramp angle that has
increased
up to 90 degrees.
Lastly, the third graph is linear. This graph is the same data
as our second graph we just included
sine of the angle
- general equation for the
component of the force gravity directed parallel to the ramp is
F=mgsin
θ
.
PERSONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE
In this experiment, I was able to learn about the
forces
that act on an object while on an
inclined ramp
. In this activity, not only were we able to use models that demonstrate
how forces act but, we were also able to learn about
extrapolation.
I found that being
able to use the protractor and a new instrument,
force gauge
, to be helpful. With these
tools, I measured and collected values onto a table, then created a graph which made it
easier to see what was occurring. Overall, I was able to learn how force varies as the able
changes.

There are two experiments for this activity – make sure you include both.
Experiment #1: Acceleration vs. Force
In this lab you will determine the relationship between acceleration and net force.
Choose a mass at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment.
Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force.
Record data for five different values of Applied Force.
Graph Acceleration vs. Net Force.
Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line).
Make sure that Applied Force information is used as the x value

You are part of a car accident investigative team, looking into a case where a car drove off a bridge. You are using the lab projectile launcher to simulate the accident and to test your mathematical model (an equation that applies to the situation) before you apply the model to the accident data. We are assuming we can treat the car as a projectile.

ECO
5. AUTOMOTIVE. The power an
engine produces is called
horsepower. In mathematical
terms, one horsepower is the
power needed to move 550
pounds one foot in one
second, or the power needed
to move 33,000 pounds one
foot in one minute. Power, in
physics, is defined simply as
the rate of doing work. The
formula below gives the
horsepower at 5,252 radians
per second.
