Time (s)
Speed (m/s) = distance travelled (m)
time taken (s) Investigating Speed, Distance and time
Aim: How does the angle of a slope influence
speed and distance?

Method
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Plot your results on a graph.
2 Draw a straight line through the points that fit
best.
3 Describe the pattern shown by your results. Use
numbers in your answer if possible.
4 Do your results match your prediction? Explain
your answer.
5 Describe two ways you could improve your
experiment.
ANALYSIS - Use your
graph to find out:
At which height was the
speed the highest.
At which height did the
car achieve the furthest
distance.
Use your graph and results to come to a conclusion.
