Experimental Procedure:
1. On a SpeedGate screen, the upper line is switched using the single dash button I, and the lower line
is changed using the double dash button II . To reset the values on the screen, the X button is
pressed.
2. Configure SpeedGate-A with "Previous Value" on the lower line using the double dash button II
and SpeedGate-B with " Interval Before " on the lower line using the double dash button II.
3. L is the length of the airway (inclined plane, L = m) and H is the height of the airway.
4. x is the distance between SpeedGate-A and SpeedGate-B that the glider covers, which is the
distance it travels on the inclined plane.
5. Using small square boards, change the height H of one side of the airway as in Table 1.
6. According to different x values in Table 1, change the distance between SpeedGate-A and
SpeedGate-B by changing only the position of SpeedGate-A.
7. Change the height H of one side of the airway using small square boards.
8. Then calculate the average of 5 time measurements for each value of x, write under column tavg
in Table 1.

Plot the position x and time t data from Table 1 on the graph using points. Then draw a curve
passing through these points as good as you can by your crude eye estimation.

Calculate the slopes of the lines that fit the data points on your x vs. t2 graphs, which are plotted in the
previous step. In the following formulae, the xi 's represent square the time average t2 avg, while the
yi's represent the positions x. n is the number of data used in calculations. Write down the
intermediate steps.
