ball down ramp

Your work on ball down ramp 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 steepest ramp will require the least time

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

they would be increasing as slope increased

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

supports it because the ramp got steeper the times got faster

How do you think ave velocity is related to slope?

as slope increases the velocity of the ball also increases

Speculate on why ave velocity changes with slope.

gravity

How could you test your speculations?

make ramp vertical and see where the ball goes

Your data look good.

After the due date we will be discussing this experiment further via an online forum.
