If I set the angle to 90 Degrees, Sin(90) equals 1. My max acceleration would then be g. It makes sense to me, but I am still confused about k. I am sitting in the physics help room now and all of the graduate assistants are also confused.

We have not covered inertia or angular acceleration. Force = mass * acceleration I get, The rotational motion I don't understand. I found the inertia equations on the internet, and am not sure what I am looking at. Thanks for the help!

Homework Statement I need a little help here. 2. What could be the absolute largest acceleration we could obtain in this experiment? (just look at the equation you derived in lab).We are working with an inclined plane set at15.86 degrees. The ball is solid and weighs 67 grams The diameter of...
