Purpose: Demonstrate uniform acceleration in a rolling body.
Description: The wheel is released from rest and rolls down the inclined parallel track with a small acceleration. When the end of the track is raised as shown the linear acceleration of the wheel is about 0.05 cm/sec/sec. Times can be measured for various distances to show that a = 2s / t^2 is a constant.
