Multiple Forces

 


 

Experiment Question:

 

  • How do multiple forces affect the speed of an object?


 

Hypothesis:

  • When forward force is stronger: The object will continue to move forward, increasing it's speed.
  • When Backward force is stronger: The object will move slow down.
  • When the forces are equal: The object will move at a constant speed...?

 

 

Results/Force Arrow Diagrams:

 

When forward force is stronger:
 

 

 

When backward force is stronger:

 

 

When forces are equal:

 

 

 

 

Summary
          Multiple forces affect the speed of an object in 2 different ways.  One: When 2 forces are acting upon eachother the stronger force will most always prevent the smaller force from going anywhere. Two: When 2 forces are equally acting upon eachother the object won't go anywhere. Speed wise, if there are multiple forces, this would mean the object is traveling in some direction.
