Answer all questions
1 A students carries out an experiment to investigate the relationship between height of the track, h and
acceleration, a of the trolley which moves down from a same point of the smooth track. Te arrangement of
the apparatus is shown in Figure 1.1 .
A piece of ticker is fxed to the trolley which is placed on the track with height, h = 10.0 cm. Te trolley is then
released and moves down with an acceleration of a.

A section of ticker tape which represents the movement of the trolley is taken. Te actual size of the ticker tape is
shown in Figure 1.2 .
Te above procedure is repeated for of h equals to 15.0 cm, 20.0 cm, 25.0 cm and 30.0 cm. Te corresponding
ticker tapes are shown in Figures 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 .
