Constant Acceleration We are going to measure distance and time for an accelerating object and use that to find the acceleration. In the past, I would do this lab using a specialized drop timer.

Mark the distance traveled on the ramp each time. Using a longer ramp, how does gravity appear to affect the velocity and acceleration of a marble as it rolls downhill? Extra: Try repeating this ...

Remember, acceleration is the same as gradient, and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. To find the distance travelled, look at the area under the graph. In the first 10 seconds this is the ...
