Downhill

Diagram 1 shows downhill competition where a boy riding his bicycle along  a dirt track. When the boy goes over a low hillock, he comes down slowly.

Diagram 2 shows the same boy coming down a high hillock along a track. The track is much steeper causing him to come down very fast.

Rajah 1 menunjukkan seorang budak lelaki sedang menunggang basikalnya di sepanjang satu trek tanah. Apabila budak itu melalui satu timbunan tanah rendah, dia menuruni timbunan itu dengan perlahan.

Rajah 2 menunjukkan seorang budak lelaki yang sama menuruni satu timbuanan tanah yang tinggi pada trek tersebut. Trek itu adalah lebih curam dan menyebabkannya bergerak turun dengan laju.

Answer:

Interference :
Velocity depends on the height of the track (hillock)
Hypothesis
The greater the height, the larger the velocity
Aim:
To study the relationship between the height and the velocity
list of variable :
Manipulated variable : height ( of track),h/number of similar wooden blocks
Responding variables : velocity, v
Fixed variable : length ( of track ), mass ( of trolley )
List of apparatus : Metre rule, a.c power supply, ticker tape, ticker time, trolley and track
Arrangement of apparatus:

The procedure of experiment:
Set the track so that the height of track, h= 15.0 cm
Switch on the power supply and allow the trolley to come down the track. calculate the velocity, v ( of the trolley) from the ticker tape.
V=s/t
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for h = 20.0 cm. 25.0 cm, 30.0 cm and 35.0 cm
Tabulation of data :
Analysing data:
Plot the graph of velocity, v against height, h
