Considering the two components, my prediction is that is a direct correlation between the two. In
other words, if the angle of incline increases so will its acceleration. Obviously, the acceleration
due to gravity will not change however the forces acting upon the car will. However, as the force
in the downhill direction is calculated using the equation F = mgsin(theta) the acceleration of the
car will increase. In the sine function. the period of 0 to pi/2 which is 0degrees to 90degrees, is
the range of our incline angle. Which the sine function has a positive derivative and therefore is
increasing. This we can conclude that the steeper the incline gets the greater the force will be and
therefore the acceleration because f = ma and mass is consistent. I also predict that the
relationship graph will have an s shape, similar to the curves of the sine and cosine chart along
its period because the force equations are dependent of it.
