Investigating the Effect of Slope Angle on Marble Rolling Speed
This experiment explores how varying slope angles influence the speed of a marble as it rolls down. Conducted at angles of 15, 25, 35, and 45 degrees, three runs are recorded at each angle to determine average speeds. Results are then compiled and charted for a visual representation of how incline affects the rolling motion. This study aims to help understand the relationship between incline angles and object acceleration, providing insights into basic physics concepts involving gravity and motion.

Inclined to Roll • Objective is to see the impact a slope has upon an object. • Page 319 in book
Time a marble’s roll as it travels down a slop at 15 degrees, 25 degrees, 35 degrees, and 45 degrees. • Record three runs at each angle. • Calculate the average speed of each run. • Chart your finds.
