Prediction: I think as the ramp gets higher, the speed of my automobile increases, and it also travels a further distance. That's because the gravitational potential energy pulls every thing towards itself, and in here as the toy automobile gets further away, the gravitational potential puts more energy to pull the car, that's why the car goes faster. Apparatus list: * A ramp. * A ruler. (up to 2metres) * A plastic automobile. * A stopwatch. * 10 woodblocks Method: * Set up a ramp at the height of 1 cm (1 wood block) of the ground and in a specific area that you will keep the same and put a ruler at the end of...
