experiment 7

Hypothesis: The rod will shoot out but the cart won't move that much.
Trial 1- Cart move backwards the rod shoot out.
Trial 2- Cart move backward rod shoot out.
Trial 3- Cart move backward rod shoot out.
1. Rod went upward and the cart went backward.
2. External force for rod & cart.
3. No our hypothesis was not correct.
Materials- Rod Rubber band Halls Cart
Procedure:1. Find an open area on a smooth surface (preferably a table).
2. Attach one end of the rubber band to the hole in the front of the cart with a paper clip.
3. Pull the steel rod back in the rubber band(creating a "slingshot" effect) until there is good tension on the rubber band.
4. Hold the cart and the rubber band and the rod in place with one hand.
5. Release both the cart and the rod at the same time.
6. Repeat several times and record in your note book.

exeriment 6

Hypothesis- You would have to use more washers to make 200g move.

Washer 1= Cart did not move

Washer 2= Cart did not move

Washer 3= Cart did not move

Washer 4= Cart did not move

Washer 5= Cart did not move

Washer 6= Cart did not move

Washer 7= Cart moved towards the metal rod.200g took more force to make the cart accelerate.
Yes, the hypothesis was correct because the cart moved with 7 washers with 200g and the 100g cart started to accelerate with only 4.
Yes, the cart is proportional to the rate of mass,as stated in Newton's second law
