Assessed Experiment on the Efficiency
of a Ramp
Planning
I am investigating the efficiency of a ramp depending on the mass of the load , the height of the ramp or the angle. I have chosen the amount of load to be lifted up the ramp because I think I can get a more accurate set of results this way. The ramp is a basic but very effective way of moving objects to a greater height more easily than simply lifting.
Fair Test
- I will take all of my results on the same day with the same equipment and area.
- I will repeat my test three times for a more accurate test.
- I will pull the bucket along at the roughly same steady speed every time.
- I will take the results myself so they will not differ.
