Newton's First Law

Experiment 1

Problem- Will an object at rest remain at rest unless moved by an external force.

Objective- The purpose of this lab is to prove if Newtons first law is true.

Hypothesis- I predict that once the ramp is pulled from under the cart, the cart will land in the same spot on the table.Proving that Newtons first law is true,which states that an object at rest will remain at rest or that an object in motion will remain constant in a straight line.

Material- Wood ramp

Ruler

Cart

Procedure- First I put took the ruler and measured 12 inches and thats how much the wood ,would hand of the table.Then I put the cart on it and pulled thewould from under it.

Conclusion- When I pulled the ramp from under the cart, it landed on the table in the exact spot it was before,proving that Newtons first law is true.
