Assume you have an uphill acceleration of -0. 6 m/s² and a downhill acceleration of -0. 4 m/s²
a) Calculate average acceleration along track with uncertainty.
B) Use average acceleration value + inclination angle of track (2 degrees plus/minus 0. 1 degrees) to
calculate downward acceleration due to gravity.
C) is value of g consistent with generally - accepted value of g = 9. 8 m/s²? Why?
d) Assume the effects of friction have the same magnitude for both uphill and downhill portions. Do you
expect the effect of friction to bias your calculated value of g? If so, will it be a positive or negative bias?
