Hello, so I am at the very last question on my lab and it states: "Prove that the equation a = g sin x is valid for the magnitude of the acceleration down a frictionless plane inclined at an angle x to the horizontal. I can't seem to understand how I should go about this. A bit of help would be...

That makes so much sense. And yes you're right, we have to then compare it to what we get using ay=gsinθay=gsin⁡θ. Thanks soo much, I'll give it a go and see how it goes!

Ok so by using an air table, we have this piece of paper with 50 dots on it which recorded the puck's position every 0.02 seconds. This is what our teacher asked us to do: we first choose 10 points on the paper and record the distance from one point to another, so a total of 9 distances. I chose...

I am not entirely sure to be honest. One of the questions for the lab asks me to find the average acceleration for each trial. If it helps, for the first trial, we let the puck go on the incline (the horizontal component will be 0 i think). The second trial was the same as the first except we...

Sorry if I didn't give enough details. I did some research and I actually have a different question which would solve the problem and is much easier to explain. If I had the following accelerations: a1 = 6.0m/s^2 at 60 degrees a2 = 7.0m/s^2 at 72 degrees a3 = 7.6m/s^2 at 78 degrees Would it be...

Hello, so I am working on a projectile motion lab but I'm not sure what to do right now. Essentially, the lab consisted of my classmates and I using an air table to show that the vertical and horizontal components of projectile motion are independent. During one of our trials, we placed a puck...
