We Will: investigate the difference between mass and weight as it relates to Newton’s Laws of Motion

I Will: finish Tow Mater and gather data for this activity, finishing it in class today as time allows.

Take a moment to think about your observations of weight you have experienced in the world. The first step of the scientific method is to observe the world around you.

Question for thought: What is the relationship between mass and weight?

What is the SI unit for mass?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
11.

What is the unit for Force?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
12.

What is the symbol for Force

Procedure: (12 minutes)

Complete the following instructions. Masses can be used individually or combined.

  1. Record the mass on the data table.

  2. Hook the mass or combination of masses onto a red spring scale. Do not exceed 1000g. Record the mass on the google sheet data table.

  3. Read the Force in Newton's side of the spring scale. Record the Force exerted on the spring scale in Newtons in the google sheet data table.

  4. Repeat for a total of 5 different masses

Data Analysis: Using your gathered data, graph the Force acting on the spring scale on the y-axis vs the mass on the x-axis.

Link to google sheet to create your data table and graph.
