Rougher Surfaces Produce More Friction
Title:
Aim: The aim of this experiment is to test if the rougher surfaces produce more friction and affects the distance travelled of a toy car.
The aim of this experiment is to determine if the surface areas affect the distance travelled of a toy car by creating friction between the surface and object.
The aim of this experiment is to determine if the surface areas affect the distance of a toy car due to the force of friction between the two objects.
Hypothesis:
From the basic research shown, there is enough information to back up that the rougher surfaces will produce more friction, which would result in causing the car distance to be minimized. The surfaces such as the carpet and cardboard will produce more friction and affect the …show more content…
My hypothesis was supported by the results from the testing of the different types of ramp surfaces and a toy car. The furthest results were recorded when the plywood smooth square was the ramp for the toy car. This means that there was less friction created which let the toy car travel further. There was an obvious difference in the results that were taken between the plywood smooth surface and the carpet, which produced the most friction. When the car was released on the carpet ramp, there was a lot of friction created between the car and the carpet. The friction made between the car and the surface made it travel not as far as say the mirror because there wasn't as much friction created. All of the results depended on the different surfaces of the ramp and how far the car travelled. In each test throughout the experiment, several trends could be seen within the data. For each different measurement there were 6 trials done. Trends were seen in each different test for each surface which mostly supported the scientific principle explaining that the surfaces of an area affects the distance an object travels due to the strength of the force of friction created between the surface and the
