Document Summary
Area of science when physical bodies are subjected to forces/displacements and the effects which occur to the body and its environment is observed. Gravity and linear air tracks: measure local acceleration due to gravity, linear air tracks, analysis method 1, analysis method 2, vernier scale use, log graph paper use, using computers to plot graphs. A glider is lifted on a hollow aluminum track of triangular cross section with by air that is forced at a uniform rate by an air blower. As the glider moves along the linear air track, the frictional resistance by the air is small and thus ignored. Gliders needs to start from rest [ to satisfy motion distance equation] Distance is the distance between the start and finish gates: Measure 10 distances [ from 2. m to 0. 2m], conduct three trials for each distance, and measure their time values. Calculate the mean time value from each trial, and square the value to get t2.
