Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A trolley slides down a 20-degree incline in 1.5 seconds for 1 meter. Calculate the experimental acceleration and the percentage error if the theoretical acceleration is 3.39 m/s².

💡 Hint: Use the time correctly for the calculation of experimental acceleration.

Question 2

If the trolley travels down an incline of 15° and requires additional weight to reach a component force threshold of 20 N, what weight is needed assuming g = 9.8 m/s²?

💡 Hint: Make sure to calculate the sine of the angle first!
