Newton's second law of motion states that when an object is acted on by an outside force, the strength of the force equals the mass of the object multiplied by the resulting acceleration. The formula for calculating the strength of this force is force = mass x acceleration. Newton's second law is sometimes referred to as the Law of Acceleration.
Use toy cars, 3/8 inch washers, meter sticks and books to create an experiment with multiple variables. Create a ramp (between 20cm to 30cm in height) using books and three meter sticks that are taped together side-by-side. Place different amounts of masses on the top of the toy cars. Roll the differently weighted cars down the ramp one at a time, and record the time in seconds that it took for each car to completely roll downhill. Conduct several trials by manipulating ramp heights while keeping the mass constant. Create a data table, graph and a written paper detailing how your experiment follows Newton's second law of motion.
