Inclined Plane - Sliding Objects
Investigate the energy and motion of a block sliding down an inclined plane, with or without friction. The ramp angle can be varied and a variety of materials for the block and ramp can be used. Potential and kinetic energy are reported as the block slides down the ramp. Two experiments can be run simultaneously to compare results as factors are varied.

AP Physics 1 Coefficient of Friction Lab
This is a modification of the traditional Coefficient of Friction lab from the AP Physics 1 library - It ... (more)uses the application to simulate a block on an inclined surface to determine the coefficient of friction. It also provides the student to practice writing a procedure.
