Newton Experiment 6


Objective- Doe it take more force to accelerate in object with greater mass.

Hypothesis- I predict that once you put the string the cart will move and if you put enough on the cart will move so fast it flips over the rod.

Materials-
Washers
Halls Cart
String
Paper Clip
Rod
Tape

Prodcedure-

First we taped the rod to the table

Second We tied the string to the halls cart and the other end to a paper clip

Lastly we added Washers until the cart started to move.

Washers Speed
0 rest
3 rest
6 rest
9 fast
12 really fast

Washers Distance
0 29
1 29
2 27

Conclusion- The Hypothesis was correct it takes to times the washers to move a cart with 200g instead of 100g.
