... Physics Investigation By Christopher Stylianou Aim The aim is to find out the breaking distance of a trolley car going down a ramp when an independent factor is changed. Factors All the independent variables, which could affect the investigation of Breaking Distance, are:> Speed of Vehicle- By changing the speed of the trolley car, it could change the Breaking Distance.> Friction of Wheels- By changing the amount of frictions on the wheels, it could change the Breaking Distance.> Surface Material- By changing the surface material the trolley is travelling on, it could change the Breaking Distance.> Gradient of Slope- By changing the gradient of the slope, it could change the Breaking Distance.> The Breaking Force- By changing the breaking force applied to the trolley car, it could change the Breaking Distance.> Mass of the Vehicle- By changing the mass of the trolley car, it could change the Breaking Distance.
