Research Question
Does the number of books under the ramp affect the velocity of the tomato soup can?
The greater the number of books underneath the ramp, the higher the velocity of the tomato soup can. The
three data tables created using Tracker, display the velocity of the tomato soup can at certain time intervals
when there are two, four, and six books underneath the ramp. When comparing the velocities of the tomato
soup can, it is notable that at 0.033 seconds the velocity of the ramp with two books is about 27.96 m/s
whereas for four and six books it is about 60.98 m/s and 87.67 m/s respectively. The evidence clearly shows
that as we put more books underneath the ramp, the velocity of the can increases. The velocity of the can
increases due to the increase in the height (the distance between the ramp and the table).
