The predicted acceleration of an object on a frictionless ramp is lä| = g sin 0 where 0 is the ramp angle. Using your measurement for the angle, calculate the predicted acceleration. Include uncertainty in your prediction: the uncertainty of the acceleration can be shown to be da z g(80) where 80 is the estimated uncertainty in the angle (in radians)
