Object In this investigation, I intend to prove that acceleration due to gravity is constant regardless of the angle of the slope. I shall do so by conducting a fair test and collecting valid evidence from sed test. My Apparatus (Including range and accuracy, where applicable.) Ticker Timer: runs off 2v AC supply, which is not dangerous. Produces dots on ticker tape every 0.02 seconds. (0.02 seconds is the elapsed time between every alternation in alternating current). [My ticker timer was number 24] Ticker Tape: Self-marking tape of ~10mm in width. Trolley: An aluminium box with 4 wheels and good quality bearings of overall mass 508.7g. (My trolley was number 7) Top pan balance: To weigh trolley with an accuracy of 0.1g and a range of 0 to 2000g. Slope: Aluminium ramp with grooves for trolley wheels to run in, of 1220mm in length. (My slope was slope J) Clamp Stand (x2), Boss (x2) and Clamp...
