Investigating Motion is a free interactive simulation of a trolley accelerating down a ramp for GCSE Physics (Edexcel IGCSE 4PH1). Students vary the ramp height and measure the trolley's speed using light gates to investigate how ramp height affects speed. This is a required practical for Edexcel IGCSE 4PH1. No login required — includes a worksheet and self-marking quiz.

Aim: To investigate how the height of a ramp affects the speed of a trolley rolling down it.
