Demo Title: Sponge Wood and Lead Bricks
Subject: Force, Mass, and Acceleration
Description:
In this demo, a sponge, a lead brick and a wooden block are hit with a hammer with constant force. Due to varying masses of each object, the acceleration varies.
Procedure:
- Review F=ma
- Take hammer and explain it provides a force.
- Explain three different objects having three different masses.
- Begin by hitting the sponge off the table with the hammer.
- Then hit the wood of the table
- Finally hit the lead brick with the hammer.
- Place lead brick over hand and hit with the hammer to demonstrate the mass of the brick and how it absorbs the force of the hammer.
