What equipment would you need to carry out the experiment on the factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?

Answer 1

A: you need to measure the distance traveled ( a ruler/ tape measure) the angle of the ramp ( a protractor) and how long it took to roll the given distance ( a stop watch or cameras liked to a timer or reed switches linked to a clock so you can get an accurate start and stop time) . The Distance traveled divided by time taken will give you the speed E;G 1 meter traveled in a second = 1meter a second, and 2 meters in a second = 2 meters a second ,and 60 meters in 20 seconds = 3 meters a second ( do this in meters per second) .You can then work out how many kilometers an hour it has traveled. But it all depends on how scientific you want to get - but for basic high school stuff just a way of measuring the angel of the ramp and a way of measuring the length travele!d

Answer 2

For an experiment on factors affecting the stopping distance of a toy car rolling down a ramp, you would need a ramp, a toy car, a measuring tape or meter stick to measure distance, markers to indicate stopping points, a stopwatch to measure time, and possibly different surfaces or materials to test different variables such as friction.
