Model Help

Stock: The stock represents the amount of stuff that we are measuring over a period of time. In our model stocks are velocity along the ramp, horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, location along plane, horizontal location and vertical location. The units of these stocks are meters per second or meters. (If the gravity rate is changed to cm/sec/sec, then the stock units become cm and cm/sec.)

Flows: Flow represents some amount of stuff going into the stock "Stock". The units for velocity rate are meters per second and the units for location rate are meters per second.

Converters: Converter control the amount of stuff going into "Flows". In our model converters control the gravity rate, the angle of the inclined plane, the length of the plane, the height above the ground, etc.
