"LET THE EQUATIONS GUIDE YOUR THINKING"

Observe!! - The cart moves faster as it rolls down the table. This means that the cart is accelerating. Now! I will provide you with the following materials: Cart Ruler Stopwatch Whiteboard 4 books per group to make the inclined table Big question for the day! - How

do we measure the acceleration of the cart as it rolls down

the inclined table?

In your groups - On your whiteboard, brainstorm how you will answer this question, and then perform your experiment to find out what the acceleration is. Individually, write down your groups data that you collected, and how you calculated your answer on this worksheet. MAKE SURE TO TAKE MEASURE MORE THAN ONCE AND USE AN AVERAGE. This paper will be turned in and graded at the end of the hour.
