Neco 2018 Physics Question 3
Practice practical question 3 from the 2018 Neco Physics examination. This question covers Motion, Practical .
A cart is released from rest down a smooth inclined plane. The motion is recorded with a ticker timer that marks dots at a frequency of 50 Hz (i.e., 0.02 s between successive dots). The distance between successive dots is measured on graph paper where 1 cm corresponds to 0.01 m. The angle of the incline, measured with a protractor, is 15°. The recorded distances between five successive pairs of dots are: 2.4 cm, 2.6 cm, 2.8 cm, 3.0 cm and 3.2 cm. Using this data, determine the experimental acceleration of the cart, the theoretical acceleration down the plane, and the percentage error of the experimental value.
