Homework Statement
What type of motion is experienced by a cart rolling down an incline?
Homework Equations
m = Δy / Δx
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm just looking for some confirmation. If an object is on an incline and there is no other force than gravity acting upon it, should the object then accelerate down the incline at 9.8 m/s^2 ?My results are varying from 13 m/s^2 or 12.1 m/s^2
But shouldn't I be getting less than 9.8 m/s^2 ? Because the cart is slightly affected by friction and air resistance (which is supposed to be negligible for this lab).
Thanks
