Motion on Inclined Plane Simulation

General Aim of Inclined Plane Simulation

Determination of acceleration of gravity (g) through gravity acceleration experiment.

 

Method of Inclined Plane Simulation

Motion on An Inclined Surface

Learning Objectives (ILOs)

  • Analyze the motion of a body on an inclined surface through inclined plane simulation.

  • Determine the acceleration due to gravity through inclined plane simulation.

Theoretical Background / Context

  • If an object is released from rest down an inclined surface, it will accelerate downward in inclined plane motion.
  • The acceleration in this case is g sin θ, where θ is the incline angle of the plane in inclined surface physics. 
  • Then the total distance, L, traveled by the object is given by the principles of inclined plane physics as the following:

 

  • Inclined surface definition refers to a flat surface tilted at an angle to the horizontal, commonly used in inclined plane physics lab experiments.

Principle of Work

During inclined plane simulation, measuring the time taken by the ball to move down the inclined plane a certain distance y for a given incline angle ፀ in the inclined plane virtual lab.
