Air Powered Mass: F=ma
Rating
0.0 stars

Students will test how an equal force impacts an object’s acceleration as its mass increases. They will make a paper car that uses wind power (air pump) to propel forward. The car will ride along a track made from straws to simulate motion in one dimension. They will repeat these steps for multiple trials while adding mass each time. By collecting and recording data, students should notice a trend, and use their data to prove Newton’s Second Law of Motion. Extensions include making adaptations to the car, or even generating an entirely new design, while comparing their results to the first design.
