The spring is displaced and then released at the same time as the cart is released to roll down the plane. The data represents the position of the mass as a function of time. Physically, there are 3 processes happening: A cart rolling down a plane (2) Simple harmonic motion (3) Dampening Try and work backwards from this data to find out physical parameters for each of these phenomena: (1) The angle of the plane down which the cart descends (2) The period of oscillation of the spring (3) The damping factor There are 3 basic phenomena, so there can be six total charts to examine. Physical parameters can be found using analysis that we've covered before, and then calculations can be done using easily-researched physics equations.
