Hannah Greenslade Y11 Science Coursework What affects the acceleration of a trolley? Plan An unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate. The acceleration happens in the same direction as the resultant (or unbalanced) force. The size of this depends on the mass of the object and the size of the force. The force on a small object is bigger than the same force acting on a bigger object. If the mass stays the same but the force gets bigger, the acceleration also increases. The equation to find acceleration is: when = acceleration, = velocity at the end, = velocity at the start, and = time The variables which could affect the acceleration of a trolley down a ramp are: The mass of the trolley, - (the size of the trolley), if the same force acts on a bigger object it will accelerate less than that force on a smaller object. The continuous force, - (how much the...
