The Motion of a Rolling Ball on an Inclined Plane

Purpose: In this activity you will

• Describe the motion of a rolling ball on an inclined plane.
• Calculate the rate of change in speed of the rolling ball

Materials:

Pencil

Ruler

Meterstick Graphing Papers

Stopwatch (or sports wrist watch)

Small ball (rubber/plastic ball or

pingpong ball

Inclined plane (2.5m)

Procedure:

1. Set up your inclined plane as in Fig 4.3b.

2. Let one of your member of your group roll the ball from the top end of the

plane, while another records the time it takes the ball to reach the 0.5 mark.

Repeat the procedure but take time for the ballot reach the 1.0m mark, then

3. Using the distance and average time in table 1, compile table 2.

Table 2.

a. Describe the speed at a particular time relation to the distance.

Ans. According to newton’s first of motion, “Newton’s first law

states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a

straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line

at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.” When the

speed is 0 , the time and distance remains zero. From 1.14 m/s the

time has change along with the distance so on and so forth.
