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.

Were our hypothesis correct?

A) As the angle increases the speed increases


B) As the angle increases the distance travelled
increases
