Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If a trolley moves down an incline of 30°, calculate the theoretical acceleration assuming g = 9.81 m/s².
💡 Hint: What does sin(30°) equal?
During trials, if your recorded time for a 1 m distance was 2.4 seconds, calculate your experimental acceleration.
💡 Hint: Use the distance and time squared in your formula!
