Question • What would happen if you hit three pennies with one quarter? • Hypothesis: The one quarter will move the three pennies.
Balanced and unbalanced forces • Balanced force is when forces are the same in size but opposite in direction. • Unbalanced forces act in opposite direction but are different size. • Balanced force unbalanced forces • ---- • ----
What the Quarter Did • When we flicked the quarter all the pennies moved different distances. • The quarter did not move far after hitting the pennies
I Wonder………. I wonder what would happen if we hit 2 quarters into 6 nickels? I wonder what would happen if we hit 3 quarters into 7 quarters? I wonder what would happen if we hit 1 dime into 5 nickels?
