Physics Coursework. Natalie Onions Joseph Whitaker School. Plan: This experiment is designed to see if vertical height has anything to do with the speed of a moving vehicle as it rolls down a ramp. We will put a trolley at the top of a ramp and let go. We will start a stopwatch when it reaches the bottom of the ramp and stop it when the trolley has travelled 2 metres. We will experiment with a variety of different heights to obtain better understanding of our results. I think that this is a very easy and efficient way of doing the experiment, as it doesn't require a lot of space or equipment but it will give us results that will be easy to read and spot a pattern in. Diagram: Equipment: Ramp (To roll trolley down) Trolley (Our "Vehicle") Metre stick (To measure our distances and heights correctly) Stopwatch (To obtain correct times for travelling the...
