6.1 – Investigating Accelerated Motion Using a Trolley or Rider (Leaving Cert Physics): Quizzes

Verify equations of uniformly accelerated motion

50 Hz

To remove dirt that might affect motion

$u = \frac{s_1}{n/50}$

Spaces between dots get progressively larger

Wheel rotation issues

Ignore them as they are blurred

Until rider moves smoothly without drifting

$a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s}$

Parallel to direction of motion

Weights connected via thread and pulley

Repeat with different acceleration values
