Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A trolley rolls down a 15° incline and records an experimental acceleration of 2.4 m/s². Theoretical acceleration is 3.87 m/s². Determine the percentage error and discuss potential sources.
💡 Hint: Will you factor in non-ideal conditions while reflecting on errors?
Design an improved experiment to test the effects of incline on acceleration, considering previous limitations identified.
💡 Hint: Think about what made readings uncertain and how to mitigate those.
