    1) When pennies were placed on an index card that was pulled out from under them quickly, the pennies fell into the cup below due to inertia, as Newton's First Law states that objects at rest tend to stay at rest and objects in motion tend to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2) Newton's Third Law states that for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Examples given include a hammer hitting a nail (hammer pushes on nail, nail pushes back on hammer with equal force) and a person walking (feet push against the floor, floor pushes back with equal force). 3) Voyager was

    Newton’s Laws Name: Period:

    Part One – Newton’s First Law

    Experiment 1 Materials
    • Plastic cup
    • Index card
    • Pennies

    Procedure
    1. Place the index card flat on top of the cup
    2. Place a penny on the card, so it is centered over the cup
    3. Carefully take the card out from under the penny by removing it quickly and straight.
    4. See how many pennies you can place on the card and still have them fall into the cup. _____
    10
    Analysis
    1. Using Newton’s First Law, explain why the penny fell into the cup. Your answer should include the
    word inertia.

    Experiment 2 Materials
    • 5 washers

    Procedure
    1. Aim one washer at the bottom of the stack of four washers and apply a force with your finger or hand to
    slide it towards the taller stack. What happens?
    onlyone falls andthe others shift
    2. What happens when you slide a stack of 2 washers into a stack of 4?
    2 fall and 2 Shift
    3. What happens when you slide a stack of 4 washers into a stack of 4?

    All fall
    4. What happens when you slide a stack of 4 washers into a stack of 2?

    Allfall
    5. Explain the results of step 2. What happens when two washers hit the stack of four? Be sure to discuss
    force, inertia, rest, and motion in your CER.

    6. The space probe Voyager was launched into space in the late seventies and left the solar system a few
    years ago. Why was it able to keep going for all that time without the use of fuel?

    a. What will the probe continue to do forever until an unbalanced force acts upon it?

    Part 3 – Newton’s Third Law

    1. Complete the table about Newton’s Third Law. The first two are done for you as an example. Remember!
    Forces are always equal and in opposite directions. The less massive object will accelerate faster.
