Since the trolley is moving on an air track, friction is almost negligible. The angle of inclination is is specifically stated as 5 degrees.
Is the slope of a distance against time squared graph really equal to half of the acceleration?
Thanks.
This is a question on my physics lab report. We did a whole experiment on how to calculate Earth's gravitational acceleration using air tracks, light sensors, etc. As such, it is pretty obvious that the question is asking for Earth's gravitational acceleration. And sadly, this is all the data we...

"The relation between the distanse S of the trolley as it moves on air track and the time t is given by S = Vt+(1/2)at^2, where V is the initial velocity of the trolley. The following set of data were taken for the distance S of a trolley on an air track apparatus, whose...
