penny project - Lincoln Co Schools

The first law of motion is an object in
motion will stay in motion, an object in
rest will stay at rest unless an unbalance
force acts on it. The first law helps us in
the project because the pennies are at
rest and because we are unbalanced
forces so we can move the pennies.
The second law of motion is the amount
of acceleration of an object depends on
the force applied and the mass of the
object. The second law helps us
because we put just the write amount of
force on the pennies to move them.
The third law of motion is for every action
there is an opposite and equal reaction.
The third law helps us because when we
slid the 3 pennies into the 6 pennies the
back 3 pennies go back.

First, you tape two rulers wide enough for
pennies. Second, you put the six pennies
near the middle in between the rulers.
Third, you put the three pennies ready to
flick against the six middle pennies. Last,
you repeat step three at least three
times.

Three pennies hitting six pennies will
make three pennies on the other side
move eight and a half inches, six and a
half inches, and six inches.

In conclusion, our hypothesis is correct.
We said that three pennies hitting six
pennies will make three pennies on the
other side move.
I wonder what will happen if we used 1
quarter to flick and 6 pennies to move
how many will move
