Constant Forward Force

 

 

 

 

Definitions:

  • Force: A push or a pull on an object
  • Forward Force: A push or a pull in the SAME direction that the object is moving


Experiment Question:

  • How does a constant forward force affect the velocity of an object?


Hypothesis:

Scenario 1: What will happen to the speed of the ball if Mr. Ozeni gives the ball a constant forward force with the blow dryer? Why?

The object will stay at a constant speed, because there is a constant forward force.




Scenario 2: What will happen to the speed of the car if Mr. Ozeni turns on the fan? Why?

The object will also stay at a constant speed, because there too, is a constant forward force.

 

 

Results:

Metal Ball and Blow dryer
Car with Fan

The ball sped up

The car speeds up



 

Data Analysis/Discussion:

 

 

Metal ball with blow dryer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Car with Fan
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Summary

We set up 2 experiments that proved forward force actually helps increase speed in an object.  In both

experiments we came to the conclusion that a constant forward force affects the velocity of an object by

increasing it's speed. If the speed increases that means the velocity increases too because velocity is an

objects speed in one direction.
