Lesson outcome
I can explain how to measure acceleration accurately.
Show transcript
A dynamics trolley has a steady acceleration down a steep ramp.
Acceleration = change of velocity / time and change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity
Light gates can improve accuracy of measurement of instantaneous velocity and reduces random errors.
Using video recording will allow for accurate measurement of small time intervals.
