What affects the stopping distance of a toy car Planning There are many factors, which affect the stopping distance of a car. There are many factors, here are a few of them: * Speed of car * Mass of car * Surface that car is on * Height of ramp * Starting point on ramp * Aerodynamicness of the car The independent variable I have chosen to investigate is the height of the ramp, and I will keep all of the others constant. I will make this a fair test by not changing the speed of the car, i.e. pushing it down the ramp faster, thus taking longer to stop, as it will gain more kinetic energy. Not changing the mass of the car i.e. adding more weights on top of the car, causing it to have more inertia, therefore making it harder to stop, not changing the surface the car is on i.e. concrete to gravel to carpet...
