How does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a trolley? For this piece of coursework, I intend to investigate the relationship between the heights of a ramp to the change in speed. I will be measuring the speed from these heights: - * 5cm * 10cm * 15cm * 20cm * 25cm. Formula AIM The aim of this investigation is to find out what the relationship his between the height or a ramp and the change in speed. Hypothesis The greater the height of the ramp the more the speed of the trolley would increase. Hypothesis Explanation The greater the height of the ramp the more speed of the trolley would increase. The change in height increases the change in speed; this is because the higher the ramp the more gravitational potential energy is stored. The reason is the Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object as the result of its vertical position in...
