Investigating the Relationship Between the Braking Distance of a Toy Car and the Height of the Ramp
Planning
To carry out this experiment safely I will ensure that the necessary
safety precautions are taken place. Goggles and lab coats should be
worn during the experiment. All likely safety hazards are eliminated.
I will make sure the ramp is placed on the table in a stable manner
and that I will ensure that the ramp is not too high.
The procedure of this experiment is to first get a ramp of suitable
length, and place onto the bench. Raise height by using a retort
stand, by placing it under the ramp, moving it backwards and forwards
to adjust the height. Produce a range of heights to which to use, and
once all set it all up. Once all this has been completed get a toy car
and place at the top end of the ramp (where the highest point of the
ramp is). Place a metre rule and the end of the ramp with the long end
coming out of the ramp. Release the toy car from the top end of the
ramp and once the car has stopped measure the distance using the metre
rule.
I am doing an experiment to investigate the see any connections
between the braking distance of a toy car and the height of which it
is released at. I predict therefore that as the height of the ramp
increases the braking distance also increases. To guarantee this is a
fair test I plan to only have one thing that changes throughout the
whole experiment, and this is the height if the ramp, and everything
other then that will remain constant.

I know that the speed and braking distance vary when the height of the
ramp height is altered so I plan to investigate the relationship and I
predict that as the height of the ramp increases so will the braking
distance and velocity. This is because if the ramp was at 0º to the

The fine motor skills and gross motor skills used to play with the Transformer car will be another topic of discussion. In addition, the toy will be reviewed to see how or if it would be shared within a social environment and if an adult would be able to participate in teaching the child. The Transformer is in the shape of a car and has a picture of a robot on the bottom of the car. The top of the car was mostly black with some gray trim and had the transformer logo in grey on the hood of the car. The car is approximately 2 to 3 inches in length and about 1 inch wide.

Brakes may be one of the most essential inventions in the developments of automobiles. Clearly, nothing can surpass the breakthrough of the wheel, but the brake system was a catalyst to the further developments of cars. The brake system has also evolved greatly throughout the years. Once considered one of the simplest parts of a vehicle, brakes have become one of the most complicated components in a vehicle. The scientific explanation behind a brake system is very rudimentary. Friction permits the concept of braking to occur.
There comes a time in every little boys life that the best present he can get is a remote controlled car. After all, driving and car is equated with freedom and maturity, a sign that one is “grown-up”. At the age of six when I entered that phase, I too wanted a remote controlled car, but for a different reason. While my friends raced and, eventually, wrecked their toys cars, I dissected mine. I wasn’t excited at the prospect of pseudo-driving a car, but rather intrigued at how it was possible that the wheels spun and turned at the push of a joystick. My curiosity got the better of me and I ripped off the plastic body to see what lay within. What I saw changed my life. I saw a chain of interconnected moving gears (which I later found was called the transmission) engage the whole system. As the motor spun the inside of the car came alive. Like a chain reaction each gear spun the next one until everything came into motion with complete synchronization. It caught my attention like a magic trick captivates a five-year old. This excitement was not because I found a new toy, rather because ...

The average driver doesn’t think about what keeps their car moving or what keeps them on the road, but that’s because they don’t have to. The average driver doesn’t have to worry about having enough downforce to keep them on the road or if they will reach the adhesive limit of their car’s tires around a turn. These are the things are the car designers, professional drivers, racing pit crews, serious sports car owners, and physicist think about. Physics are an important part of every sports and racing car design. The stylish curves and ground effects on sports cars are usually there not just for form but function as well allowing you to go speeds over 140 mph in most serious sports cars and remain on the road and in reasonable control.
it reaches the bottom. There are also other safety features on roller coasters, not just free-fall rides, that aren’t on TOT. For example, on Aug. 11, a train stopped for six minutes on the lift hill. That stoppage occurred because another train was still at the roller coaster's platform. This ride had a sensor that automatically stopped a ride, instead of it being manually stopped. Just like TOT, there is a safety sign to warn riders before they board the
mistake. Since I was not paying attention on the way down, I lost my balance
