A2 Physics Coursework Ski Slopes Aim The aim of my investigation is to investigate the relationship between the mass of a number of ball bearings travelling down a ramp and see how the angle and height of the ramp affect the range of the bearing after it has left this ramp. Introduction The formula for Potential Energy is PE = mgh, this meaning that the amount of potential energy that is stored in the object is dependant on the mass of the object, the force of gravity and the height at which the object is stationary above height = 0. When the object is released from it's stationary position, it drops to the floor any way it can, under the influence of gravity. The potential energy is transferred into Kinetic energy (formula = 1/2 mv) as the object moves downwards. I am going to be using a selection of steel ball bearings and I will...
