... INVESTIGATING AN ASPECT OF PHYSICS THAT IS RELEVANT TO SKI JUMPING Aim: To investigate the effect of varying the perpendicular height of a ramp on the distance travelled by a marble, which has descended the ramp and has been projected in a horizontal direction. Prediction of the relationship between the height used and the change horizontal distance travelled by the spherical mass. I believe that height is directly proportional to distance squared. This means that if the height is doubled the distance will quadruple. Explanation of the prediction in scientific terms. The formula to work out distance travelled is simply = average speed/total time, however there are many other formula used in working these two out. First the speed, or velocity must be obtained. The velocity of the ball does not depend on the length of the ramp (if friction is discounted) but on the vertical height the ramp is set at or
