Force to Change Speed or Direction of A Moving Object

Experiment 4

Objective: Objects at Motion Remain at Motion

Hypothesis:

1. The force might have to be greater because the gram went from 100 to 200 so it's going to be heavier, so it might be harder to push.

2. The force will be less because it's going to be haredr to curve the cart with the 200 gram mass because it's heavier.

Materials Used:
8' inch string
cart
200 gram mass
spring scale

Data:

Trial 1- starts at 0 ends at 1
Trial 2- starts at 0 ends at 1.5
Trial 3- starts at 0 ends at 1
Trail 4- starts at 0 ends at 1.5

Conclusion:

1. It takes more force to maintain its initial speed.

2. It takes more force to change the direction of the cart.

3. My first hypothesis was inccorect.

4. My second hypothesis was correct.

5. The experiment followed Newton's First law

6. Nothing went wrong while doing this experiment.
