Experiment 3

Objective: To see if objects in motion really continue in motion unless acted upon by a external force.
Hypothesis: I think the 100gram will fall of the top.
Materials: 100g mass, ramp, cart, duck tape, card board
Procedures: 1. We put the card board on the top cart.
2. Taped two pieces of tape to the card board so it would stay together.
3. Place to 100g mass gently on the top of the card board.
4. Push the cart gently so that it hit the ramp. But always so that the mass don't come off before it hits.
5. Recorded our data

Data:
a. The mass went forward and landed on the ramp.
b. The mass went forward.
c. The mass fell backwards onto the floor.
d. The mass fell on the back wheel e. The mass fell flat to the ground.
Conclusion: The weight is knocked off of the cart. A force is acted upon. In this case the force is the ramp. Yes my hypothesis was correct. The weight did fall of the ramp.
