I NEED HELP ASAP!!!!

Post by deleted-694712 »

I need some background information for my experiment. I'm releasing toy cars with different weights attached onto them from a ramp. Not free falling. I need background information regarding velocity, weight, mass, gravity, etc. My question is how does weight affect the velocity of an moving object. Any information is helpful. Thank you very much!

Hi Schyler,

Science Buddies has a couple of projects aimed at exploring the velocity of objects rolling on ramps:

The background information and bibliographies should help you with your background research. And you may find that you can use some the experimental techniques in your project.

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
