What effects acceleration Aim: To find out what effects the acceleration of a small trolley with a weight of 1kg. Variables: The variables I will keep the same are: - the weight of the trolley - the angle of the surface/slope - length of the surface/slope - the surface of the surface/slope I am going to change the mass acting on the trolley through the pulley. This mass will be measured in grams. I will put on masses from 100g to 800g. I am going to measure the acceleration of the trolley in m/s as the mass on the pulley changes. As the masses will be acted on by gravity they will extent a force on the trolley and I will use g= 10N/K to work out the force for each mass. Prediction: I predict that the larger the force in grams acting on the trolley the larger the acceleration of the trolley. I think this because by...
