 I. Introduction

This study focused on an object in motion with a uniform acceleration. Uniformly accelerated
motion, or constant acceleration, is motion that has a constant and unchanging velocity. Uniformly
accelerated motion may or may not include a difference in an object's speed. In this experiment
we will show you how to calculate the uniformly accelerated motion.

II. Objectives
• To know the motion of body moving along an inclined plane
• To calculate the uniform accelerated of the body from the obtained data
• To determine the acceleration from the slope of the speed-time curve
• To measure the position of an object in free fall as a function of time and to determine the
acceleration due to gravity.

IV. Observation
In the experiment, we observed that the motion of the moving object moves along an inclined
place is constant. Since the object has enough mass as well as the inclined plane, the inclined
plane causes the cart to weights down the object without any hindrances for the object to
decelerate, we accomplished to determine and calculate the acceleration of the body

VII. Analysis/Discussion

Based on the calculations made. Table 1 on the first trial the cart reaches 55.1 m/s after 55

seconds. It travels 1.2 cm in every time interval which is 5 seconds.

Table 2 second trial the cart reaches 23.8 m/s after 55 seconds. It travels 2.1 cm in every time

interval which is 5 seconds.

VIII. Conclusion

In the experiment, we observed that the motion of the moving object moves along an inclined

place is constant. Since the object has enough mass as well as the inclined plane, the inclined

plane causes the cart to weights down the object without any hindrances for the object to

decelerate, we accomplished to determine and calculate the acceleration of the body.

 IX. Reflection

We as the one who conducted the experiment can apply this experiment in a real life situation.

When a person drives a motorcycle on a straight line direction with a constant speed then

suddenly the road became inclined, its tendency is to accelerates its speed due to the gravity

that pulls the motorcycle to reach the ground.
