Investigating the acceleration of Connected Particles Aim The aim of this experiment is to investigate the motion of a trolley on a plane and compare the results with a mathematical model. Model's Assumptions * No Friction - When creating the mathematical model I am going to assume that there is no friction acting upon the trolley. This is due to the fact that the trolley will be running upon a smooth plane, which offers no resistance. The trolley is also constructed upon wheels, which minimises the affects of friction between wheel and surface if any. Furthermore the track used for the trolley is specifically designed for the trolley, therefore reducing friction even more. * Smooth Pulley - The pulley over which the weights pulling the trolley will be passing through, will be smooth. This is for the reasons that the most costly and smoothest pulley available to me will be used. Therefore this should not also...
