Experiment on Stopping Distance and Friction by Paris Marcano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This experiment aims to show how different surface materials affect the stopping distance of a toy car moving down an inclined ramp. The car will be released down the ramp and the stopping distance measured for six different surface materials. The material with the shortest stopping distance is expected to have the highest dynamic friction. Dynamic friction causes greater resistance to motion and allows objects to stop over shorter distances. Key variables that will be controlled are the type of vehicle and
