****Sketch a diagram of the cart on the incline and label the forces acting on the cart. What
portion of the cart's acceleration is parallel to the incline and what portion is perpendicular to the
incline? Write it in terms of Trigonometric functions.
****Compare and comment on the value you found above for the parallel component of the
acceleration, g* sin(0), to the acceleration you measured above.
Station III. Accelerating Cart with Fan on a Flat Track
You will analyze the motion of a fan and cart accelerating along a horizontal track. The fan
causes an acceleration along the track. We will use our Labquest interface to gather data for
determining the acceleration. You will position the Labquest at one end of the track and let the
cart move away from the detector due to the thrust. Make sure your track is level.
Analyze the motion of the cart along the track five different times and determine the five
accelerations and record them below. Calculate the average and standard deviation of the data.

Station II. Accelerating Cart on a Track
You will be analyzing the motion of a cart accelerating down an incline. Gravity causes an
acceleration down the incline because a portion of gravity's acceleration vector is along the
incline. We will use our Labquest interfaces to gather data for determining the acceleration of a
cart down an incline. You will position the Labquest at a position toward the top of the incline
and release the cart down the incline.
This exercise is intended to reinforce your skill in working with the trigonometry that
you will
need for your physics experience. You are asked to pick two points on the tilted track, measure
the height difference Ay between the two points and the length along the track separating the two
points and this will be labeled Al, then use some trig to determine the angle of the incline
relative to the horizontal (we assume the tabletop is horizontal). You will release the cart down
the incline and determine the acceleration by analyzing the position vs time graph with your
Labquest. Analyze the motion 4 additional times. Find the average acceleration and standard
deviation of the accelerations.
