How Do You Demonstrate Newtons Second Law Of Motion For A Science Fair Project?
Sir Isaac Newton developed three laws of motion to describe how objects move through the physical world. His first law of motion describes how objects in motion remain in motion unless another force acts upon that object, such as friction. His third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is why, as you step off a boat and onto the shore, the boat tends to drift away from the shore. The second law explains the relationship between force, mass and acceleration, specifically stating that force is equal to mass times acceleration. To convey this principle of physics, you only need a handful of simple objects. Apply masking tape to the floor to mark a starting point for the can. The rubber band will be used to propel the can. You will need to mark a point to where you pull the rubber band back. This way you can control the force the rubber band applies to the can. Place the can on its mark. The can should be on its side so that it can roll e
