Physics Coursework Investigation to find how friction and changing variables affect the length an object travels Aim My aim is to investigate, when changing a variable, how far an object can travel, and how the variable I change affects this distance. I will demonstrate this by using a margarine tub, and push it across a table with the help of an elastic band. The range of variables I could change is wide. Firstly, I could modify the amount of force in newtons that I apply on the elastic band. The larger amount of force I employed on the tub, the further it would travel. I could alter the mass of the margarine tub, or its shape, size or surface area. I could alter the size or strength of elastic band, or the finish of the table, resulting in an increase or decrease of friction acting against the tub. Plan After carrying out...
