Laboratory information
Through this remote laboratory you can experiment with Newton's second law in a system that allows you to observe and analyze the behavior of a ball moving along an inclined plane or in a free fall. The parameters to be analyzed are: time, velocity and acceleration of the ball during the fall. The angle of inclination is configurable by the user, reaching 90º and allowing to experience a scenario of free fall. Check whether the ball rolls while travelling on the inclined plane or it only moves down the plane. Will it depend on the defined inclination? Test it!
