Investigating the effects of increasing Gravitational Potential Energy on the speed of an object. My aim of the experiment is to find whether if you raised the height of an object giving it more G.P.E the object's speed increases too. I will measure the speed using a ticker timer and will try and make it as much of a fair test as possible. The variables from this test are both dependant and independent. The independent variables can be changed as I have control over them but to make it a fair test I will be keeping them constant apart from one, this is because the one you change has a direct effect on the dependant. The dependant variables will change as they depend on the independents (as the name suggests). The independent variables are; the height of the ramp and the mass of the trolley (0.95 kg in my experiment), I will change...
