Forces/Newton's Law of Motion:

Experiment 1



Objective: The objects at rest remains at rest unless acted upon an external forces.



Hypothesis: I believe that the car will land on the table due to the wheel and the roll back.



Materials Used:

1.)A Cart

2.) 2 by 1

3.) Ruler



Produres:

1.) Set wood on to the table along with the cart.

2.) Measure 8 inch away from the table to measure how far the wood is where the wood belong.

3.) Place the cart on the wood and then pull the wood out fromt he cart.

4.) Repeat this step over about 4 more times.



Data:

Trail 1-Stayed on the table.

Trail 2-Satyed on the table.

Trail 3- Fell off the table.

Trail 4- Stayed on the table.

Trail 5- Stayed on the table.



Conclusion: The cart did what I said what will happen 80% of the time. When I did the third trail it fell because the measurements where a little off or the cart was to far from the table.
