Activity-3
EXPERIMENT: - To demonstrate Galileo’s Law of Inertia using a double-inclined plane.
Materials Required:
A glass ball, A double-inclined smooth surface.
Observation:
We observed that a ball would roll down one plane and up the opposite plane to
approximately the same height. If smoother planes were used, the ball would roll up the
opposite plane even closer to the original height.
Inference:
The ball continued to move with uniform velocity on a frictionless plane.
