LAB REPORT-5  

By:Pramatha 
​
GRADE 9 
Experiment conducted by: Pramatha, Disha & Avantika 

AIM 

To find relation between acceleration and vertical height 

MATERIALS 

1. Meter Ruler 
2. Books 
3. Wooden Plank 
4. Stopwatch 
5. iPad 

 
  

PROCEDURE 

1. Stack a few books ,place the plank and then measure the vertical length 
2. Repeat this 6 times 
3. Roll the object down the plank and measure the time it takes using a stopwatch 
4. Repeat this 3 times 
5. Calculate average time and average speed

ONE SOURCE OF ERROR 

Human reaction time 

ONE SOURCE OF IMPROVEMENT 

Pay closer attention to detail 

CONCLUSION 

As the vertical height increases the speed of the moving body increases
