Lab 2In this lab I used a ramp, matchbox car, meter stick 2 thin rubber bands, 1 thumb tack, and a domino. During this lab I wanted to relate the angle at which the ramp formed with the table it was on to the length the 2 thin rubber bands stretched. I secured the domino to the matchbox car then I secured the thin rubber band chain to the domino and car. I then took the push pin and placed it at the top of the ramp then secured the rubber band chain to the push pin so the car and domino was resting on the ramp then I lifted the ramp to different heights and myself and my partner estimated the angle that was formed with the table and ramp.

Angle (degrees)/ distance the rubber bands stretched (cm)
