Fundamental Forces Worksheet
Instructions:
For Part 1, answer the Pre-Lab questions before performing your investigation in the lesson.
Then, follow the guidelines in the lesson to gather data for Part 1. For Part 2, use the results of your lab activity
to answer the questions. Use complete sentences in both parts.
Part 1: The Lab
Pre-Lab Questions
1.
List the four fundamental forces in order of strongest to weakest.
The strong nuclear force,
the electromagnetic force, the weak nuclear force, gravity.
2. Compare the magnitude and range of gravity with the magnitude and range of electromagnetic force.
Gravity is force of attraction between two objects The magnitude and range of gravity depends on the mass of
the objects and their distance . Electromagnetic forces are the only forces that can both attract or repel each
other. The electromagnetic force depends on the number turnings of the electromagnetic field and the current
flowing through it. The force also has a very long rage its attraction and repulsion cannot reach over as long a
distance as gravity's attraction.
Your Investigation
4. State your hypothesis.
Hypothesis: Yes, I think the feather will fall at the least rate and the big ball first small ball
2nd place
5. Identify the variables in your experiment.
Independent variable: The objects used (small ball, large ball, feather)
Dependent variable: Observations of gravity test trials
Controlled variables: Distance between objects and mode (normal or vacuum)

6. Table 1: Gravity Test Trials
Trial
Objects Used
Observations—Normal
Mode
Observations—Vacuum
Mode
1
Big ball and small ball
both balls hit the ground at
virtually the same time.
both objects hit the
ground at the same time
but slower rate.
2
feather and big ball
the big ball hit the ground
first
both objects
hit the
ground at the same time
but faster rate.
3
small ball and feather
When the small ball and the
feather are dropped at the
same time, the small ball
hits the ground first.
both objects hit the
ground at the same time
but at faster time
Part 2: Conclusion
Data Analysis
7. Did the experiment support your hypothesis? Use data from your experiment to support your claim.
No it did not support my hypothesis because they all dropped at different times. Both they small and big ball fell
at the same rate in normal mode.Both objects hit the ground at the same time but at a slower rate in the
vacuum mode.The big ball hit the ground before the feather in normal mode. All objects ihit the ground at same
time but different speed.
