Name Date Bob and Gil: Section Forces Demonstration I. Book on Straws: Newton’s First Law The book is pushed along the table. ~ When the book stops, what happens to the book? Why? The book is pushed over a bed of straws. ~ When the push stops, what happens to the book? Why? Explain the difference between the two demonstrations. What types of friction did you see? When? What is another example of an object that keeps moving for a while even after the push or any other force stops? What is Newton’s First Law? Write a 1 paragraph summary explaining how the book on straw example is an illustration if Newton’s First Law. Name Date Section II. Free Fall of a Book vs a Piece of Paper Test One – Book in one hand, paper in the other hand. Drop at the same time. a. Predict: Which will hit the ground first? b. Observe: What happened? Test Two – Put paper under the book. Drop them together. a. Predict: Which will hit the ground first? b. Observe: What happened? c. Analyze: Why did this happen? Test Three: Put paper on top of the book. Drop them together. a. Predict: Which will hit the ground first? b. What happened? c. Analyze: Why did this happen? Test Four: Crumple up paper. Book in one hand, paper in the other. Drop at the same time. a. Predict: Which will hit the ground first? b. Observe: What happened? Name Date Section Test Five: Object Used: ______________ a. Predict: Which will hit the ground first? c. Observe: What happened? Summary: Write a paragraph on what you learned about Newton’s Second Law – mass and acceleration. III. Mass on a Thread: Inertia Draw and label a diagram of the demonstration. If we give the bottom thread a quick jerk what happens? Why does this happen? What is inertia? Name Date Section IV. Buoyant Force: Newton’s 3rd Law Label the following diagram of the demonstration. Predict: ~ What do you think will happen to the reading on the spring scale (clay’s mass) when the clay is submerged in water? ~ What do you think will happen to the mass reading triple beam balance after the clay is submerged in the water? Mass Before and After clay is submerged in the water. Mass (g) Before clay is dropped into the water Clay (spring scale) Mass (g) After clay is dropped into the water Water Beaker (triple beam balance) Analyze: What happened to the reading on the spring scale when the clay was submerged in water? What happened to the reading on the triple beam balance when the clay was submerged in water? Explain why this happened. Draw and label the forces that are involved. The forces are equal and opposite: The spring scale reading decreases by _______g. The triple beam balance reading increases by ____________g. Name Date Section V. Falling Coffee Filters: F = ma (Newton’s Second Law) Procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Measure the time it takes for a coffee filter to fall a distance of 2 meters. Increase the mass. (number of coffee filters) Take 3 time measurements for each mass. Record the data in the chart. Calculate the average velocity. Create a graph of the average velocity in # of coffee filters. Average Velocity = Distance Average time Number of Coffee Filter 1 Time (sec) Average Time (sec) Average Velocity V = d/t 2 4 8 10 1. Look at the data chart. As the mass of the coffee filters increased, what happened to the time it took for the filters to fall 2 meters? 2. Create a graph on the back-side of this paper. X – axis = # coffee filters Y – axis = Average Velocity 3. What do you think would happen if we used 50 coffee filters? 100 filters? 4. Write a 2-3 sentences conclusion about this experiment and Newton;s 2nd law. Name Date Section
