physics experiment (part 2)

I'm doing the following physics experiment (for school):

A certain person is driving a tricycle and when he reach a certain speed (f.e.: 20km/h) he stops doing anything.

With this we want to see how long it takes untill the tricycle stands still and after how many meters it is. But I think my teacher expects more of us than only this... So is there anything I could add to this experiment which could make it look better. (NO other materials)

grtz p!mps

WHEIGHT WON! We'll do the whole experiment with 2 different people with a different weight so we have more stats! :) Thx for your help

man, you're a hero
you could make it go downhill, or uphill, or you could just find a decent project
he shall make a backflip from the tricycle and sing the nationalhymne
What snook said,

different surfaces would be good, grass, concrete and wood if you have a gym at school
set him on fire at the moment he stop doing anything with a loop ramp few meters after it
she expects you to calculate the coefficient of friction o.o
weigh the cycle and the one sitting on it and calculate how much friction and stuff there must be
so a cheater was born.... :DD
Parent
use a monkey in stead of a person
succesfull fosho
analyse the friction. use different grounds, show that the energy isnt a constant of time and so on and so on

btw why did teachers allways make such stupid experiments? too high rate of errors in it, so u wont get nothing! :/
Possible things...

1)different grounds, different tyres?, different weight, use a child/grown up/fatty... (no offence tho) or things like that..

2) Compare it with a car - a bus - a tractor - a scooter ... =<

I don't really know.. just trying to help :O
