If so, what type of debate do you do?

I really want to thank you. Our ramp came out very well. We presented it today and I made a 98 percent on it. I know that a 98 percent is not perfect, but I am pleased. We named ourselves "Team Andrevdh" haha.

Thanks. I looked in my book for the meaning of the equation. The closest that I have came is centripical accerlation. It does not look like the same thing. I can not figure out what the "u" in the equation means. \

You were correct. The mass of the ball was actually 50.6 grams. I am not sure how we could have made such a simple mistake. Thanks for pointing that out. So, to calculate acceleration.. Should I merely just insert 1 meter where it was previously .5 meters and 1.8 seconds where I had put .9...

We are using a super ball. It is possible that we took the measurement wrong, or that I wrote down the wrong number. I will double check at school today. For initial velocity, I wrote 0 over .9 seconds to prove why it was zero. Is my acceleration wrong? Is my X value really wrong?

Here are my calculations so far. I am sorry if they seem messy, they are handwritten. [ yes, I know that I have unit problems and sig. fig. problems.. sorry] PAGE ONE: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n18/inferius_fire/pg1ramp.jpg PAGE TWO...

Another question... When I am calculating rotation interia does kinetic energy come into play? I have looked it up and I keep seeing this equation :

Generally, will my "g" in the equation be 9.81 m/s^2 or will it be 6.6742... like I had labeled in my picture.

Mutt key? No... I do not have a key on my keyboard that creates inbred puppies.

ok, calculations are coming soon. I am at school right now, but by the time I go to my physics class we should have it figured out. I will post them when I got home. Don't think we are stupid [ hahahaha] but how exactly will the detergent in the water help?

haha, don't feel bad. I am have some how managed to lose my mute key.

ew no no no no. I don't want E COLI!

well... I WOULD go for the fish, but I am suddenly a vegan.

I want cereal! Special K with red berries please...

I like the bolt idea, my little brother had mentioned something like that to me. I believe that he is going to help me in the actual construction of the ramp, along with my other group members. Where did you find that image, or did you draw it up?
