Question

Transcribed Image Text:Pre-Lab Questions
Please answer on a separate sheet.
1. Very briefly explain how a photogate works.
2. How far would you go if you traveled at a speed of 30 miles per hour for 3 hours?
3. What acceleration would be needed to travel the same distance in the same time as in
# 2 when starting from rest? What would be your final speed?
4. Refer to Figure 3. Given a track length of 90 cm and a height of 18 cm, what is sin?
5. Draw the force diagram for an object on an inclined plane (see Figure 2). What
would be the acceleration given the inclination from # 4 and g 9.8 m/s?
