We are using an incline to find uniformly accelerated motion, what is the equation to find the percent difference/error? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!! :confused:

This is a bit tricky, are you actually performing this experiment?

Yes, we are. I think we use a(exp)/a(theo)X100?

a(exp) being a=gh/l

Is the slope as tricky?

Thanks for the help... I really need it. (Under a lot of pressure to make a high avg in this class.)
