Multiple Forces

 

Experiment Question:

  • How do multiple forces affect the speed of an object?

 

Hypothesis:

  • When forward force is stronger: The object will speed up because the forward force is stronger than the force that would otherwise cause it to slow down.
  • When Backward force is stronger: The object will slow down and eventually stop because, even though there is a forward force, the net force of the one causing the object to slow down will overpower the net force of the forward force.
  • When the forces are equal: The object will move at a constant speed because the net forces of both fans will cancel each other out, and since neither one will impact the movement of said object it will not be pushed in either direction.

Results/Force Arrow Diagrams:

When forward force is stronger: The object sped up.

When backward force is stronger: The object slowed down.

When forces are equal: The object moved at a constant speed.

Summary:

Summary
The speed will only be altered by the force with greater strength, as the other force will be canceled out by that of the stronger instigator, at the expense of only a minor portion of the force of the latter.
