Newton's Laws  Experiments

The group you arranged (three or four people) is responsible for performing a quantitative experiment of two of  Newton's laws.  (You may choose which two)

Resources for this step

During this step you are to design, perform, analyze and report on one laboratory experiment do test/verify two of Newton's Laws of Motion. In order to accomplish this you will need a thorough understanding of Newton's laws of Motion and how to apply their mathematical practices.
