16. Homework
Prepare to present an example of Newton’s First Law of Motion. You must accompany your presentation with a careful explanation of why it is Newton’s First Law. (See the example in your book.) You must be a part of the performance and/or explanation.

17. Newton’s Second Law
An unbalanced force (____ force) will cause an acceleration in the same direction.
F = m a
Greater force causes greater acceleration.
Example: Nicole pushes a 1000 kg car with 50 N of force. What is the acceleration of the car?

18. Newton’s 2nd Law Lab
Aim: To investigate how mass affects acceleration. Hypothesis: Procedure: [Use the SAME force!] 1. Make a cart large and strong enough to hold 4 eggs. 2. Weigh the cart and record. 3. Push cart, record distance. 4. Place one egg in the cart, and weigh. Repeat step Repeat step 4 until you have recorded the distance for the cart holding four eggs. Results: (Create your own table)

20. Conclusion: The carts with more _______ travelled a __________ distance when pushed with the ______ force.

21. Discussion questions: (Answer in complete sentences)
How does increasing the mass affect the distance travelled by the cart?
Predict how far the cart will roll if you added another egg.
Explain the results of your experiment using Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion.
What happens to the acceleration of an object if more force is applied?
Extra question: How much force is required to move a 250 kg cart with an acceleration of 4 m/s/s?

22. Discussion: Increasing the mass _________ the distance the cart travelled. The cart would roll _____m if another egg was added. Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that an unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate. So according to the law, a = F/m, keeping the force the _______but increasing the mass would __________the acceleration of the cart, so the cart experiences a _________speed change, and so it travels a _________distance. If more force is applied, the acceleration of an object will ___________. It takes 1000N of force to accelerate a ____kg cart by 4 m/s/s.
