    沿斜面的加速度

    目的 :

    測定傾角怎樣影響沿斜面運動的加速度

    儀器 :

    2 智能手機

    1 斜面

    1 小車

    1 電腦

    1 膠泥 / 膠紙

    1 軟布

    數本舊書

    理論 :

    當小車沿斜面下行時,在摩擦和自身重量沿斜面的分量作用下,小車會加速下行。

    由於物體的重量沿斜面的分量 (W sin θ) 取決於傾角 θ,小車的加速度隨 θ 而增加。在分

    析斜面時,你可假設當角度很小時 (θ < 10o) 摩擦跟 θ 無關。

    步驟 :

    1. 將應用程式 Accelerometer 和 Smart Compass 裝設在你的手機上。實驗前先參閱用戶手冊,

    你亦可在家裏試試這些應用程式。

    2. 在實驗室旁邊的實驗檯裝置一斜面。

  • 3. 以膠紙 / 膠泥把手機黏貼於小車上面。 y-方向 (參照用戶手冊 ) 應為手機指向前進的

    方向。此實驗不要使用昂貴的手機,因手機有可能會被刮花。

    4. 以舊書將跑道的一端墊起。利用全部舊書將跑道墊至最高。為免速度過高,傾斜度

    須限制為小於 10。在跑道末端放一塊軟布以吸收小車的撞擊。

    5. 用另一手機以應用程式 Angle Meter 量度斜面的傾角 θ。

    6. 將小車連同第一部手機放於斜面頂端。驅動應用程式 Accelerometer 並開啓存取。

    7. 當智能手機正收集數據時把小車釋放。在小車到達跑道末端時即停止存取。

    8. 現移走一至兩本書以減低傾斜度。設定最少另外五個角度並重複步驟 (5) 至 (7)。注意

    小車或只會慢慢加速,因角度跟摩擦補償跑道的漸趨接近。

    y-方向

  • 9. 從智能手機複製數據檔到電腦。根據在用戶手冊中的步驟以 Excel 打開文字檔。在

    表中尋找對應在釋放小車前後沿 y-方向的加速度的部分。由於重力存在的關係,會

    有一虛假讀數使初始讀數不是零。求取釋放小車前後沿 y-方向的加速度平均值。

    Acceleration along an inclined plane

    Objective:

    To determine the effect of inclination angle on the acceleration down an inclined plane

    Apparatus:

    2 smart phones

    1 inclined plane

    1 trolley

    1 computer

    1 blu-tack/adhesive tape

    1 soft cloth

    Old text books

    Theory:

    When a trolley moves down along an inclined plane, it accelerates under the action of friction and the

    component of its weight along the plane.

    As the component of its weight (W sin θ) along the inclined plane depends on the angle of inclination , the

    trolley’s acceleration increases as increases. In analysis of inclined plane, you may assume that the

    friction is independent on θ for small angles (θ < 10°).

    Procedures:

    1. Install the apps Accelerometer and Smart Compass in your mobile phones. Study the user manual

    before you come to the laboratory. You may try-out these apps at home.

    2. Set up an inclined plane along the side bench of the laboratory.

    Weight W W

    W sin θ

    W cos θ

  • 3. Attach a mobile phone with blu-tack and/or adhesive tape on the top of the trolley. The y-direction (refer

    to the user manual) should be pointing to the forward direction of the phone. Do not use an expensive

    phone for this purpose as it may be risky to get the phone scratched.

    4. Raise one end of the runway with old text books. Set to the largest height with all available books. To

    avoid over-speed, the inclination should be limited to less than 10. Place a piece of soft cloth at the

    bottom end to absorb the impact of the trolley.

    5. Measure the inclination of the inclined plane with the apps Smart Compass in another phone.

    6. Put the trolley with the first smart phone at the upper end of the inclined plane. Run the apps

    Accelerometer and start saving.

    7. Release the trolley while the smart phone is capturing data. As the trolley reaches the bottom of the

    inclined plane, stop saving at once.

    8. Now reduce the inclination by removing one or two books. Repeat steps (5) to (7) for at least five more

    angles. Notice that the trolley may accelerate very slowly as the angle becomes closer to the one for

    friction-compensated runway.

    y-direction

  • 9. Copy the data files from the smart phone to the computer. Open the text file with Excel according to the

    steps in the user manual. Locate the part in the table corresponding to the acceleration in the y-direction

    before and after the trolley is released. The initial reading is not zero since there is a false reading due to

    gravity. Get the mean acceleration before and after the trolley is released along the y-direction.

    X Y Z t

    Before release

    After release

  • Results and Data Analysis:

    From the data captured by the Accelerometer and the angle read from the Angle Meter, complete the

    following table. Plot a graph of 𝑎 − 𝑎0 versus sin 𝜃.

    Inclination θ sin θ Reading of acceleration

    Introduction:

    Nowadays all smart phones contain a build-in sensor (accelerometer) to measure acceleration.

    It can measure acceleration easily with suitable iOS/Android apps. Your task is to design and

    conduct an experiment to find out the acceleration of an object using this app.

    Task:

    One of Galileo's most significant experiments was his measurement of acceleration. He rolled

    a brass ball down a wooden ramp and determined its acceleration using his pulse as a timer !

    Using similar equipment, your task is to conduct an experiment to determine the acceleration

    of an object down an inclined plane.

    Materials:

    A smart phone1,2 Inclined plane

    Trolley PC / Laptop computer

    Soft cloth Blu-tack/adhesive tape

    A few textbooks

    1. Under the heading PROCEDURE, list in order the steps of the procedure you will use to

    solve the problem. You may include a diagram to help illustrate your plans for the

    experiment. Include any safety procedures to be followed. Be detailed enough so that

    someone else could follow your procedure.

    2. Construct a DATA TABLE or indicate any other method that you could use to record

    your observations and results.

    3. Perform the experiment by following the steps outlined in your procedure.

    4. Under the heading RESULTS/OBSERVATIONS, record the observations collected in

    the experiment. Use statements and descriptive paragraphs, and record all measurements in

    the data table you constructed.

    5. Under the heading CALCULATIONS, show all the equations and calculations used.

    6. Construct a GRAPH that shows the relationship between the variables measured in this

    experiment.

    7. Under the heading CONCLUSION, give an interpretation of your results. Based on your

    graphical analysis of the data you collected in this experiment, discuss the acceleration of

    the object as it moves down the ramp. Be certain to explain how you used your data to

    arrive at this conclusion.

    8. At the end of 45 minutes, your answer will be collected.

  • [version with minimal guidance]

    Extension:

    (1) State the control variables(s), dependent variable(s) and independent variable(s) in this

    experiment. Which one should be written along the horizontal or X-axis ?

    (2) Identify and discuss the sources of uncertainty (errors) that may encounter in the

    experiment.

    (3) From the graph plotted above, write a statement that summarizes the trends in data. Write

    a statement of relationship between the variables: acceleration of the object and the angle

    of inclination of the inclined plane ?

    (4) Does the graph pass through the origin ? If not, explain why ?

    (5) Most experiment should be repeated by testing each level of the independent variable

    several times. Why repeated trials are required ?

    (6) Do you expect a small ball (instead of a trolley) to have a smaller, larger, or the same

    acceleration as a much larger ball along the inclined plane ? What effects need to be

    taken into account to answer this question ?

    Motion, Measurement and Statistics:

    (7) Show that the final speed of the ball is given by 𝑣 = √2𝑔ℎ where h is the initial height,

    which is the vertical distance between the flat rolling surface and the bottom of the ball at

    its point of release.

    (8) Can you think of two different ways to measure the velocity ?

    (9) How do you decide what length or time interval you use to get the best possible

    precision ? In other words, why might your precision be negatively affected if your

    length/time is either (a) too short or (b) too long ?

  • (Revised as of 28 October 2013) The table below illustrates the considerable scope which teachers have in choosing practical work for SBA. It is hoped that this can help teachers plan their teaching and assessment arrangement. However, teachers should feel free to devise their own innovative or/and project-based practical activities for assessment in particular areas of the syllabus as long as they are of appropriate standard and can meet the criteria for awarding marks. There is no list of prescribed or recommended practical work which must be used for assessment purposes since teaching interests and resources vary from school to school.
