This angle was measured to be 65 degrees.

Mass: I used my scale to measure the mass of the block, which is 0.023 kg.]]> 2020-06-27 09:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641604821 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641605875 Displacement along an Inclined Ramp (5) and Time (5): ]]> 2020-06-27 09:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641605875 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641606017 2020-06-27 09:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641606017 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641606036 Using the Pivot Interactive software, I uploaded the video of my experiment to measure horizontal, vertical, and incline displacement.

-Use sum of F = ma and axes correctly (5) 
-State a Newton’s 3rd Law Pair in your scenario (5 pts): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The vertical component of the force of gravity is counteracted by the normal force. This allows the block to stay on the incline. The magnitude in both directions is equal (-.095N), so the forces cancel out in the y-direction. ]]> 2020-06-27 09:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641611250 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641611866 -Use kinematics equation #1 (30)

This difference can be attributed to the following reasons:

1. Thrust force: In the actual experiment, the thrust force of the aerodynamic block significantly affected the vertical height of the block, by providing a force adding to the motion of the block. However, this was neglected by my calculations because, thrust force was considered negligible by the lab. This would make my calculated vertical distance lower than the actual vertical distance.]]> 2020-06-27 09:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641612323 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641861755 2020-06-27 21:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641861755 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641863883 Break projectile motion into x‐ and y‐components (15)]]> 2020-06-27 22:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641863883 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641873119 Comparing computation of velocity of puck at .3s to the velocity depicted in the graph. The graph of displacement on ramp (m) vs. time (s) has a slope of 6.4 m/s. This means that the velocity across time according to Pivot should be about 6.4 m/s at .3s. My computation, however, states that the velocity is 7.7 m/s at .3s. 

Here are some reasons for this difference:

1. Air resistance would produce a significant difference between the average velocity of the block, calculated by measuring the slope of the position vs time graph of the block, and the instantaneous velocity of the block at .3s. This is because the average velocity of the block would reflect the total distance that the block traveled, divided by its time of travel. As the block travels, however, it is decelerating due to the force of air resistance opposing its motion. As a result, the average velocity of the block would be lower than its instantaneous velocity at the very beginning of its descent. ]]> 2020-06-27 22:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641873119 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641884034 2020-06-27 23:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641884034 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641929651 2020-06-28 02:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641929651 sghosh36 https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641934064 2020-06-28 03:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sghosh36/p2/wish/641934064
