  • MYP Question: Does the acceleration of a D.C (dynamic car) depend on the ramp’s angle?

  • Hypothesis: The acceleration is the change of speed divide by the change of time and in this experiment, the acceleration is the slope in the graph. So the acceleration of a D.C would depend on the ramp’s angle. Because the ramp’s angles would provide an impulse in the D.C. Causing the speed to increase and the time to decrease depending on the ramp’s angle. Therefore if the ramp have a short angle elevation, then the acceleration would be shorter that in a ramp with a higher angle elevation.

  • Procedure:

  1. Once we had installed all the necessary equipment, we start with the fist data result.
  2. The compilation of data start with a ramp’s angle form by one book.
  3. The D.C need to be located at 50cm. Then it is released and you look for the slope in this first try.
  4. For one book, there might be 6 tries and then a final average for these compilations of results. This would make the results more accuracy.
  5. Do this process for the other 2 books.

  • Variables:

  1. Control Variable: ...
