Title: An Investigation into how different Factors affect the stopping distance.
Input variable: Surfaces
Output variable: Weights
Aim: To investigate what different factors affect the stop distance of a vehicle?
Hypothesis: I predict that the thicker, rougher the surface the more friction there will be. The smoother the surface the less friction there will be. I also think that the more mass there is the further the vehicle will go.
Intro/ Planning:
I am planning to carry out a practical experiment in which a trolley will roll down a ramp at a height of 15 cm. the time from when it leaves the ram will be calculated as its stopping distance. I will use different surface to test how friction will vary and affect the stopping distance. I will also add weights to the trolley to see how the mass of the object will affect the stopping distance of the trolley. The reason for my prediction that the greater the mass of the trolley the further the distance is because the more......
