May the Force Be With You!

Today we did a lab in class that relates to how forces on objects change their properties and motion of objects such as play-dough, marbles, and washers. Let's see how some people explain occurrences of this lab.

1. First, lets ask Mira to explain what a force is?

Me: Mira can you explain to be what a Force is?

Mira: A push or pull factor that is exerted on another object that can be calculated using mass and acceleration.

Me: :)

2. Next, lets ask Charlie what happens to the marble.

Me: Charlie, what is happening to the marble when opposite forces are applied to the marble?

Charlie:  Because the marble is in accelerate we can see there is an unbalanced net force. Also, if the direction changes the motion can affected through net force because if equal force occurs there is equal speed but if forces are not equal a change in acceleration can occur.

Me: :)
