Answer all questions

1. A student carries out an experiment to study the relationship between the speed of
trolley, v, and the height of the trolley on the inclined plane from the surface, h
The arrangement of apparatus is shown in diagram 1.1
The frequency of the ticker timer is 50Hz
The height of the trolley on the inclined plane from the surface, h = the height of the
block

Diagram 1.1

At the beginning of the experiment, the height of the block is started with h = 20.0cm.
10 ticks is chosen from the centre of the ticker tape to calculate the speed as shown in
diagram 1.2. The experiment is repeated by varying the values of h to be 30.0cm,
40.0cm, 50.0cm and 60.0cm. Every section of 10 ticks at the centre of ticker tape can
be obtained as shown in diagram 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6

a) For the experiment described, identify:
i. The manipulated variable

[1 mark]

ii. The responding variable

[1 mark]

iii. Fixed variable

[1 mark]

b) Measure the length of each ticker tape from diagrams 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 amd 1.6 when
a different height of block is being used. In each measurement, calculate the velocity
using the formula below:
Length of ticker tape
Velocity, v = time for 10 ticks

Tabulate your results for h, s, and v in the space below

c) On the graph paper, draw a graph of v against h

[5 marks]

d) Based on the graph, state the relationship between v and h

[1 mark]

e) State one precaution in this experiment
