GCSE Physics Coursework Plan Investigation into the Factors Affecting the Speed of a Trolley on a Slope APPARATUS: * 1kg Trolley * 1kg Masses * Runway * Light Gate * Stop clock * Power Pack * Ruler SAFETY: * Make sure all wires are secured in sockets. * No wires are trailing on slope. * Voltage of light gate has to be between 9V and 15V. * Weights must be put on trolley safely so there is no chance they might fall off. * When putting more than 2 weights on, stack safely. * Turn electricity off after use. * Before use make sure electricity is switched off so not to get a nasty shock. In this investigation I am going to set up a 1kg trolley on a slope and I will be letting it roll. I will use a light gate to start and stop the stop clock using a piece of card measured at 10 cm. I will find out the speed of the trolley by...
