0NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION

PREPARED BY: JAKE ROVIN MORALES

PROCEDURES:
1. Hook the rubber band from the head of the toy car to the push pin attached to the rear wheels
(hold the wheels so it will not move).
2. Rotate the rear wheels away from the head of the toy car.
3.-Trial 1: Rotate the rear wheels 360ᴼ 2 times.
-Trial 2: Rotate the rear wheels 360ᴼ 4 times.
-Trial 3: Rotate the rear wheels 360ᴼ 6 times.

Measure the distance travelled by the toy car. Record your gathered data on table 1.1

TABLE 1.1
Distance travelled in Time travelled in Speed (m/s) Acceleration (m/s2)
meter seconds
TRIAL 1
TRIAL 2
TRIAL 3
4. Repeat procedure 1 and 2, this time Rotate the rear wheels 360ᴼ 6 times. Then record the
time as it travels to reach a 2 meter distance. Perform this procedure 3 times. Record the
gathered data on table 1.2.
5. Repeat procedure 4. This time, load the toy car with 10 pieces five peso coin Record the
gathered data on table 1.3.
