Toni Bull 9A2 Coursework. Aim- To find out what happens to the distance travelled by two standard tubes of different circumferences down a wooden ramp propped up by books, when I alter the height of the ramp and make the release height higher, and also whether the circumference of the tube affects the distance travelled. Background Information - As the tube is higher up, it will have more potential energy so it will carry on rolling further. We can work this out by using this formula: E = m x g x h. There will be different amounts of friction depending on the texture of the surface on the ramp and on the floor that the tube is rolling onto; this will also affect the speed gained by the tube. Also another force acting upon the ramp and the tubes will be gravity. Gravity will be pulling the tube down and so...
