    Acceleration down an inclined plane

    F=mg(sinθ-cosθ) where θ is the angle of the inclined plane. This is the net force of the block down the plane.

    Acceleration down an inclined plane

    F=ma, therefore a=F/m, which implies as the mass increases, acceleration decreases.

    Acceleration down an inclined plane

    Hello, After collecting data for the classic physics experiment - motion down an inclined plane, I assembled my graph, and found something startling; in my graph, acceleration is proportional to mass (use the attached file for reference). Theoretically, my graph should resemble the inverse...

    Can Physics Explain the Thrilling Feat of Tightrope Walking?

    That would be negligible, because it is inside a building (the circus).

    Can Physics Explain the Thrilling Feat of Tightrope Walking?

    It is a high school presentation, and it does not necessarily have to be my own work.

    Can Physics Explain the Thrilling Feat of Tightrope Walking?

    It is for a science presentation. We have to discuss the physics of the circus.

    Can Physics Explain the Thrilling Feat of Tightrope Walking?

    Hello, So the main features of the physics of tight roping, would be concepts such as tension in the rope, center of mass, and rotational inertia? Does anyone else have any ideas? this would be related to the physics of circus act in which someone is walking across a rope. Cheers!
