There are about 9 different types of forces.

Primary Question

Answer: Yes, the weight and the force of an object does affect the way something is broken. The more force applied to a specific area, the more the pressure is. When a force (pushes or pull) acts on an object it results in a pressure towards the direct area. In conclusion the weight and pressure of an object does affect the way something is broken

Testing the Primary Question: One way I can test the primary question is to do a simple but well thought experiment. The experiment I have in mind is: I will get multiple types and sizes of balls, I will get either foil or saran wrap to be the object broken, then I will both roll and drop the balls on the object. After the experiment, I will record both the data from the wrap or foil and the balls. This experiment will give me both the data for the question and the data from being dropped and pushed/forced.

Hypothesis

If, Then, Because

If balls with different weights/ sizes are dropped/ forced onto wrap, then depending on the friction/ acceleration and the balls the wrap will break, because there will be contact force on the object with causes the wrap to

    Ooblek Activity Goal: Use the RACE method in writing the conclusion of a scientific lab report by examining the amazing properties of a substance called Ooblek. The RACE method consists of restating the problem, prompt or assignment, answering the problem, prompt, or argument by making a claim, citing the evidence from the text or lab that supports or disputes your answer, (using qualitative or quantitative observations) and explaining and elaborating your answer using the evidence cited and describing what your evidence revealed/relating it to the real world. Problem: Three liquids (water, glue, borax) are mixed together in a dixie cup. Will the resulting substance be a solid, liquid, or gas? In addition, upon creating the substance did a chemical or physical change occur?…

    The purpose of trying to figure out what was inside the black bottle was to understand the basic elements of the scientific inquiry process. We hypothesized that there was a push pin and string inside the unknown bottle—this was based on observations. In order to determine whether our hypothesis was correct or not, we massed out the unknown bottle, an empty bottle, and items that could potentially be inside the bottle. We also put items inside the empty bottle and compared the sound to the unknown bottle. The results showed that there were differences in sound between the unknown bottle and the empty bottle that had different items inside.…

    Based on the previous examples they are likely to predict that both will reach the clay disks at the same time, but they will be asked to ponder on the following: if I cut the strings at the same time, they will reach the clay disk at the same time, but which ball will create a deeper dent on the clay disk? If one ball leaves a deeper dent, does that mean that it has more gravitational potential energy or less? To respond to these questions the students will work on the Gravitational Potential Energy Investigation handout, and the strings holding the bowling balls will be cut only after they finish their investigation so they can explain why one ball makes a deeper dent in the clay disk than the other…

    Such as when an accelerating object is moving in one direction, while being affected by a force in the opposite direction. At the top of the hill there are balanced forces because the forces in all directions are equal and therefore there is no motion. Force is a push or pull acting on an object. In this case one example of force in Candy Land is as you are going down the 100 foot drop there is a force pushing you down the hill.…

    Ground motion is when the shaking of the ground causes the passage of seismic waves, especially surface waves, near the epicenter of the earthquake. Ground motion is responsible for the most damage during an earthquake and is thus a primary effect of an earthquake. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes that occur after a main earthquake, and in most causes there are many of these. Fire is a hazard of earthquakes, because power lines may be knocked down and natural gas lines may rupture due to an earthquake. Fires are often started closely following an earthquake.…

    To understand the force of 1N it is looked at in the formula: 1 Newton= 1kg x 1ms-2 of acceleration. Force is a vector which is a directional arrow; meaning that force is only applied in conjunction with direction. An object is considered to have a net force acting on it if there is an unbalanced force, e.g. 20N force right and a 50N force left would result in a 30N force left. Newton’s Law Three states ‘For every action, there is an equal and opposite re-action’ (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 2015).…

    (Earthquake, n.d)” They are the vibrations that occur when the rocks on the crust of the earth move under stressful conditions. When two rocks suddenly move against each other, an energy drive is generated in the form of waves causing the trembling of the earth. Earthquakes vary in severity with some being so severe that they can bring down large buildings and cause massive loss of life. However, some of the earthquakes that occur in the world are so mild that people living in the particular area can hardly feel them.…
