Effects of Incline Angle on Marble's Travel Distance and Speed

Investigate how the incline angle affects the average distance traveled and maximum speed of a marble rolled down a ramp. Set the ramp at 30 degrees, observe results, analyze how increased incline impacts energy transfer, and measure distance and speed outcomes.

  1. Inclined Plane

  2. Problem Does the angle of the incline a marble is rolled down affect the average distance traveled and maximum speed attained?

  3. Procedure • Using a protractor, set the ramp to an incline of 30 degrees. • Place the marble at the top of the ramp. • Etc.

  4. Results

  5. Results

  6. Analysis • Increased ramp angle • Marble’s descent height also increased • Marble’s potential energy greatest at a 30 degree angle • Greater potential energy translated into correspondingly greater kinetic energy • Caused the marble to travel the farthest and fastest when rolled down the steepest incline.
