In this experiment, we assume that friction is negligible. However, if friction ends up playing a role during this experiment, the experimental value of the gravitational acceleration will be overestimated. Question 5 options: 1) True 2) False

Step 1
If friction is involved, it would actually slow down the object's acceleration due to gravity, not speed it up. Show more…

Which of the following was the major assumption in the experiment you performed on uniformly accelerated motion? The mass of the object rolled down the ramp is immaterial. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant. The ramp used has negligible friction. The ramp used has zero friction

2)In the experiment to measure the coefficient of kinetic friction by sliding a block down an inclined plane, it is required that the block move at constant velocity. Why is this requirement necessary? 3) Frictional forces on a block on an inclined plane are directed down the plane (TRUE/FALSE).
