Your 'ball down ramp' report has been received. Scroll down through the document to see any comments I might have inserted, and my final comment at the end.

Your general comment

Will a steeper ramp give greater or lesser time?

The time will be the least for the steepest ramp

As slopes increases will time intervals increase, decrease or show no pattern?

decreasing

Your report of 5 trials each way for 1 domino

Your report of 5 trials each way for 2 dominoes

The intervals should be close together since they are all on the same angle.

Do your results support or fail to support your hypothesis about increasing or decreasing times?

No because the steeper the slope, the faster the time

How do you think ave velocity is related to slope?

The higher the slope, the greater the velocity

Speculate on why ave velocity changes with slope.

The amount of gravity pushing down on them

How could you test your speculations?

Test it with more trials and more dominos under the end

You should notify your instructor; if you simply copy the contents of the Address box of your Internet browser and that address using the Submit Work form, your instructor will be able to find the file and verify that your work has been properly reviewed.

Your responses have been reviewed and everything looks good. This experiment won't actually be assigned until next week, but it's fine to have done it early.
