Motion on an Inclined Plane

Page 1

Figure 1

When a body is placed on an inclined plane it will move down the slope with constant acceleration. If the body rebounds back up the plane when it reaches the bottom and the plane is friction free, the acceleration of the body up the plane will be equal to the acceleration down. In this experiment we place a cart on an inclined plane and explore the properties of the motion.
