So the math looks good, and the angle is good, so it is just error in the experiment leading to such a terrible calculated gravity? Thank you for looking this over for me.

Had the length of the hypotenuse, 122mm (a track with a mm measure along the whole thing) and then measured the height the track was raised, 4.5mm and used arcsin(4.5/122) to get 2.1 degrees.

Thank you for your reply. I did mess up on my brackets, thank you for pointing that out. I just realized I left out part of my problem :blushing: When I used my measured acceleration values (taken from the slope of a LoggerPro velocity graph) and then plug them into my equation solved for g...

Homework Statement The assignment is for a lab, we were to take an incline plane, and push a cart up the plane and measure the acceleration (using software). We need to use the difference in the accelerations (when the cart is moving up the plane and then back down) to find of the force of...
