The Effect of Height of a Ramp on the Speed of a Trolley
For this piece of coursework, I intend to investigate the relationship
between the heights of a ramp to the change in speed. I will be
measuring the speed from these heights: -
* 5cm
* 10cm
* 15cm
* 20cm
* 25cm.
Formula
AIM
The aim of this investigation is to find out what the relationship his
between the height or a ramp and the change in speed.
Hypothesis
The greater the height of the ramp the more the speed of the trolley
would increase.
Hypothesis Explanation
The greater the height of the ramp the more speed of the trolley would
increase. The change in height increases the change in speed; this is
because the higher the ramp the more gravitational potential energy is
stored. The reason is the Gravitational potential energy is the energy
stored in an object as the result of its vertical position in this
case it’s the height of the ramp. The energy is stored as the result
of the gravitational attraction of the Earth for the object. In this
experiment I am trying to find out the relationship of the height and
the change in speed; which is a direct relation between gravitational
potential energy and the height of the ramp; the higher that the
trolley is elevated, the greater the gravitational potential energy.
Prediction
I predicted that the more the ramp increases in height the more the
change in the speed will also increase. I also think that the
relationship between the height of the ramp and the change in speed
will be directly proportional.
What will be done throughout the experiment?
I will do my experiment by:-
* I will firstly I will get everything I need for my experiment.
* I will then use a small pile of books and set the ramp up at the
first height of 5cm.
* I will next make sure that the stop watch is ready to start, meaning

In general, we are morally permitted to turn the trolley in order to save five, but kill one. On the other hand, we are not permitted to transplant the organs of one healthy person in order to save five who will otherwise die. According to consequentialists, there is no moral difference between “Trolley” and “Transplant.” Consequentialists believe that “consequences are the only things of moral relevance” (Quinn 287). Actually, the consequences of both cases are either saving the lives of five or the life of one. However, our moral judgement leads that the case of “Trolley” is morally permitted, but “Transplant” isn’t permitted. Why do we think that they are different? I think that the difference between the two cases come from the doctrine
Investigation of the Relationship Between Mass of a Vehicle and Its Stopping Distance Problem The problem to be investigated is "how does the mass of a vehicle affect its stopping distance when brakes are applied?" This problem is related to the conservation of energy and will be investigated through a trolley going down a ramp. A simple trolley will be used to represent the vehicle and weights attached to the rear of the trolley via a pulley system will act as the brakes. Throughout the experiment energy will be transferred into many forms but no energy will be lost or gained. As the trolley is raised it gains potential energy, when released down the ramp this energy is converted to kinetic energy.
The Effect of Weight on Distance Traveled Aim = == I am going to investigate how the weight of an object affects the distance it can travel. I will use a margarine tub as my object to carry out my investigation. Knowledge =

Capacity is the main determinant of analysing the traffic performance of roundabouts. The movements of the vehicles were observed at 2 roundabouts in Varanasi. Gap acceptance and follow up time were estimated for cars for one hour analysis. The relation between a roundabout performance measure and capacity is expressed in terms of degree of saturation (volume – Capacity ratio). The capacity analysis is done based on gap acceptance method that is adopted by Tanner based on the HCM 2010. The traffic movement data with vehicle characteristics were collected from 2 roundabouts in Varanasi. These 2 roundabouts are directly related to their approach leg numbers.Approach entry capacity has been analysed for all 2 roundabouts at their legs. Effective capacity verses entry flow relationship have been developed in order to find out the causes of their over Saturation (v/c ratio greater than 0.85) And the result indicates; number of entry lanes, number of circulatory lanes and high traffic flow are the major causes of their over saturation.

Before the advent of the automobile, buggies were typically propelled by one or more horses. Even with the first automobiles there was a need for a drive system, though, since those horses were no longer there. One thing that has remained common to every car is a motor and transmission system of some sort, but what varies greatly between cars is what is between the transmission and the wheels, also known as the drive train. There are many different styles of drive trains, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
Introduction The Segway Personal Transporter (PT) is a self-balancing two-wheeled, battery-powered personal transportation device with a set of handlebars, see Figures below. It is self-balancing, really easy to operate and a personal commuter can travel up to 12 miles/hour. Although Segway is a technological marvel, it did not quite match the high expectations when it was first revealed in the press in 2001. Initially the press were carried away with this new interesting device and its potential to change the world and how we commute.

This is a great way to keep your child’s brain working, while also, giving them the ability to travel through the various adventures found inside books.
Trolley Investigation Choosing a Variable Before I begin the investigation, I must first decide which variable I should investigate. Variables can be divided into 2 major groups: dependant variables and independent variables. In measuring the behaviour of a trolley the dependant variable is speed. This is because the speed will change when other variables are changed. An independent variable is a variable which cannot be affected by other variables.
I will use a clamp to fix a ramp on to a retort stand, from which I
