Frequency: 50 Hz
Guide
Clean the ramp surface, connect power, then release the trolley. The tape will record the acceleration due to gravity.
Analysis Results
Scale: cmThe ruler below is marked in centimeters (cm). Use the red markers (A-F) for your calculations.
Step 1: Determine Period
Given Frequency (f) = 50 Hz
Use formula T = 1 / f
s
Step 2: Calculate Velocity at B
Measure distance A to C on the ruler above.
Time = 2 × T. Velocity = Dist / Time
Velocity B =
m/s
Step 3: Calculate Velocity at E
Measure distance D to F on the ruler above.
Velocity E =
m/s
Step 4: Final Acceleration
Count intervals between B and E. Calculate total time.
a = (Ve - Vb) / Total Time
Acceleration a =
m/s²
