Newton's 3rd law
What 2 factors affect electric and magnetic force?
Distance and amount of charge
Which car was pushed with the greatest force?

Use the graph to explain what happened to the car between 2-3 hrs.
It showed no motion.
How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet?

force (equal and opposite)
When you rub a balloon on your hair, what causes the hairs to stick up?
electric force; the strands become charged and attract to the opposite charged balloon.
Which graph shows the bicycle moved at its highest speed?
Graph D
What is an electromagnet?
a magnetic field created by electric current
On a distance time graph, would my line be less steep or more steep to show less force was applied to the object in motion? Why?
Less steep because the forward motion is less, so less distance is covered.
If I am doing an experiment to see if mass affects velocity, what should my independent variable be in my test?
Mass- independent
Velocity-dependent
Force stays the same throughout.

How can you test and measure which generator creates the most electrical current?
compare the brightness of lightbulbs connected to each generator
Which color duck has constant speed?
The Green duck has constant speed on a distant time graph.
You are wanting to test Newton's 2nd law of motion, to see if mass effects how an object moves. If you first test a 5g weight on a toy car with a force of 5N, what kind of mass and force would need to be in your second test?
Different mass with same force applied
