The Effect of Weight on Distance TraveledObjective===I will study how the weight of an object affects the distance it can travel. I will use a jar of margarine as an object to carry out my investigation.Knowledge=========Through preliminary work and research on the Internet, I have acquired some knowledge. This will help me carry out my experiment and understand it.Equations-------------Work done (j) = applied force (N) x distance (m)Previous equation applies also for elastic potential energy.Acceleration (m/s²) = force (N) mass (kg)Forces------Friction = the force that resists movement between two surfaces in contact.Gravity = the force that pulls objects toward Earth.Air resistance = the force that acts in the direction opposite to motion when an object moves through the air. When an object is stationary or at a constant speed, we know that the forces acting on it are balanced. However, if an object changes direction, shape or size or if it slows down or speeds up, the forces acting on it are unbalanced. The greater the force exerted on an object, the more work done. Energy Elastic potential energy = stored in an elastic object when work is done. on the object to change its shape. Kinetic energy = the energy an object has due to its motion. An object has more kinetic energy, the greater its mass and speed. Prediction ==========I predict that as the weight in the tub of margarine increases, the distance it will travel will decrease. I think the elastic potential energy will also decrease as weight increases. Install the equipment as shown on the floor diagram.
