What factors affect the distance travelled by a margarine tub Aim: My aim is to find out how the distance travelled by a margarine tub is affected by the force applied on it. Prediction: I predict that the greater the force applied, the further the margarine tub will travel. This will happen because when the elastic band is released, the force exerted by the band will make the forces unbalanced and the resultant force will make the margarine tub accelerate. But however great the force I apply is, the margarine tub will eventually stop. This happens due to air resistance and friction; "friction is a very common force. Whenever one object slides over another (in this case, a margarine tub over a floor) friction tries to stop the movement" - Johnson, 2001. I say all of this because Newton's law states that, Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = MA) As the mass I...
