Question 1
Newton's second law can be expressed as a mathematical formula for the amount of force needed to accelerate an object. It is that force equals mass times acceleration, or, F=ma.
James is trying to prove Newton's 2nd law of motion. He tries to move four different objects with different masses, shapes, and sizes from point A to point B. The objects are a toy car, a car, a refrigerator, and a kitchen table.
After some experimentation, he finds that force is dependent on the mass of the object, rather than it's size or shape.
What object takes the most force to move?
Claim: Looking at the objects, which object will take the most force to move?
Reason: Why do you think the object you choose will take the most force to move? Use the Newton's laws to support your answer.
