### Station II. Accelerating Cart on a Track

**Overview:**
You will be analyzing the motion of a cart accelerating down an incline. Gravity induces acceleration down the incline as a component of gravity's acceleration vector aligns with the incline. We'll use Labquest interfaces to gather data for determining the acceleration of a cart moving down the incline. You'll position the Labquest near the top of the incline and release the cart down the track.

**Objective:**
This exercise aims to enhance your trigonometry skills needed for your physics coursework. You'll select two points on the tilted track, measure the height difference (Δy) between them, and determine the length along the track separating these points, labeled as Δl. Use trigonometry to find the angle of the incline relative to the horizontal plane (assuming the tabletop is horizontal). Release the cart, record its motion using a position vs. time graph on Labquest, and determine the acceleration. Repeat the experiment four more times to find the average acceleration and the standard deviation of the accelerations.

**Measurements:**
- Height Difference (Δy): 19
- Length Along Track (Δl): 118
- Sine of the Incline Angle (sin(θ)): 4.2
- Angle (θ): 29/118

**Instructions:**
1. Measure the height difference (Δy) between the two chosen points on the track.
2. Measure the track's length between these points (Δl).
3. Calculate the angle of the incline using trigonometric functions.
4. Release the cart and use Labquest to analyze the position vs. time graph.
5. Determine the cart's acceleration.
6. Repeat the experiment four additional times to compute the average acceleration and standard deviation.
