“What would happen If we were to flick one quarter into three dimes?”
We predict that all three dimes will move because the quarter will have more force being moved than if it was staying still.
The materials we used were two rulers, one quarter, and three dimes.
First, we took two rulers and taped them to a flat surface, supposedly a table. Then, we lined the three dimes up between the two rulers, then we took the quarter and lined it up, too! Afterword, we flicked the quarter against the three dimes several times.
First Law- An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force. Second Law-The amount of acceleration of an object depends on the force applied and the mass of the object. Third Law- For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
First Time- Two of the dimes moved when little force was applied when the quarter was flicked. Second Time- All three of the dimes moved when more force was applied when the quarter was flicked again. Third Time- All three of the dimes moved again when another big force was applied to the dimes.
First Time Second Time Third Time Two of the With the help This time, they dimes mov- of a greater all moved ed when a force, all the again. But, littler force dimes mov- they went was applied ed 5 and a a little far- The dimes half cm ther, 6 cm. moved 3 cm
“ Our hypothesis was correct. The dimes all moved with a greater force instead of a littler force.” “ Yet, the first time we flicked the quarter, only two of the dimes moved instead of all three.”
“I wonder if we could switch the coins around- maybe flick three dimes instead of one quarter?” “ I wonder if we put the rulers closer, maybe it would make the quarter move straighter?” “ I wonder when we applied a much harder force, if it would move even farther?”
