Procedure
1. Set up an inclined plane by putting one end of the plane on top of stack of books.
Mark the plane for every 40 cm and label these 40 cm, 80 cm, 120 cm, and so on,
starting from the lowest end.

2. Measure the base and the height and calculate the angle of inclination. Use the
formula, ϴ = tan-1 (height / base).

3. Roll the tin can from each labelled point starting with 40 cm mark. Start the timer as
the tin can is released, and stop the timer when the tin can reached the bottom of
the inclined plane.

4. Ask your partner to record the time (t) taken by the tin can to travel each distance (d)
down the plane. Perform the three trials from each mark. Use the table on the next
slide for your data.

Questions
1 How will you describe the graphs of: (a) distance
vs. time?, (b) distance vs. time2 ?

Answer in TG:
The d vs. t graph is a curved line. The d vs. t2 graph is a straight line
inclined to the right.

Questions
2 What is the relationship between distance and
time of travel of the rolling can?

Answer in TG:
The relationship is quadratic.

Questions
3 What is slope of d – t2 graph? What quantity does
the slope of d – t2 graph represent? ( Refer to the
unit of slope)
Answer in TG:
The slope will be solved using the formula ( d2 – d1 ) / ( t22 - t12 ). The
slope of d – t2 graph represents acceleration. ( this can be seen using the
unit m/s2 .

Questions
4 What do the graphs of distance vs. time and
distance vs. time2 suggest?

Answer in TG:
The d – t and d – t2 graph tell that the tin can is accelerating uniformly. It
tells that velocity increases over time. It means that for a regular time
interval, distance is increasing quadratically.

the Activity

Acceleration can be solved using the

equation ( d2 – d1 ) / ( t22 - t12 ).

The tin can rolling in the inclined

plane is accelerating uniformly or
moved in UAM.
