THIS IS ONLY 1 QUESTION WITH 4 PARTS !!!
Students place the end of a wooden board on some books so that the board can be used as an inclined plane. The
students release a ball at the top of the inclined plane and measure the time for the ball to reach the bottom
of the ramp. The students perform three trials. The students then cover the board with a cloth and follow the same
procedure as before. The data are graphed below.
Part A
Describe two forces acting on the ball during the investigation.
Part B
Explain why the ball takes more time to roll down the ramp with a cloth surface.
Part C
Explain why the students repeated the investigation three times.
Part D
Explain how the ball's energy changes as the ball moves down the ramp.

Part A
Describe two forces acting on the ball during the investigation
A frictional plane is 10000m long and inclined at a 35.0sled starts at the bottom with an initial speed of 5.00m/s up the incline. When the sled reaches the point at which it momentarily stops,a second sled is released from the top of the incline with an initial speed v. Both sleds reach the same bottom of the incline at the same time.
A. Calculate the distance that the first sled travelled up the incline
B. Determine the speed of the second slide
