Science Coursework - Investigating How Mass Influences Distance Travelled When Firing A Margarine Tub. Introduction Aim: I am going to investigate how far a margarine tub can travel when a force is applied. The possible variables for this experiment include: the force, mass and surface. These could all affect the distance travelled by a projected margarine tub. I have decided that I will change the mass of the tub (variable) but keep the force constant. I am going to use this variable as it is easier to make accurate than surface, which is difficult to give measurements to and force is sometimes unreliable as the only way for us to control the amount of force is with how far the elastic band is pulled back which is difficult to make accurate. Prediction/Hypothesis I think the higher the mass of the margarine tub; the less distance the tub will travel. "When a force moves an...
