Newton's Incline
Analyze the relationship between the angle of an incline and the Normal and Parallel forces of an object on the incline. Derive Newton's Second Law.
Lab Summary
In this experiment, students analyze the relationship between the angle of an incline and the Normal and Parallel forces of an object on the incline. In addition, using parallel force and acceleration data at different inclines, students derive Newton's Second Law.
