Newtons laws!!! Help due midnight of June 13 !! 50 points!

Students in science class conducted an investigation of Newton's Second Law of Motion. The
students rolled two different mass balls down a ramp. All other variables, including the length
and incline of the ramp, and its distance from the force sensor, were the same for every trial.
Using the collected data, they calculated the velocity, acceleration, and force of each of the balls.
They also measured the distance the ball rolled after it bounced back off of the force sensor. The
final data, after all calculations, was entered in the data table below.
When the final results were displayed, a student exclaimed, "Hey, that data also provides
evidence that supports Newton's Third Law of Motion."
(This would be the chart, view photo)


Mass
Acceleration
Force
Distance
Ball A
1.5 m
5 kg
5 m/s/s
25 N
Ball B
10 kg
5 m/s/s
50 N
3 ml

How do the results of the investigation support Newton's Second and Third Laws of
Motion?

In your response, be sure to include
statements of Newton's Second and Third Laws of Motion
data supporting the claims that the investigation demonstrates Newton's Second and
Third Laws of Motion

Newton's second law

  • It states that force applied on a object is the product of mass and acceleration
  • F=ma

Newton's third law

  • It states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction

Now

On coming

Here the word bounce back is used

That's enough to say the third law is applied as the reaction force helped in bounce.

And then

Check F=ma

  • 25=5(5)
  • 50=10(5)

Yes verified
