    There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead on the tracks there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are some distance off the tracks on a footbridge standing next to a very large or fat man; we will call him the portly fella. You can push the man off the bridge, and his body will fall onto the tracks and stop the trolley from killing the five people, but will kill the portly fella. You have two options: (1) Do nothing and let the trolley kill the five people. (2) Push the man onto the tracks, where it is likely to kill the one person. What would you do in this situation? Push the portly fella, or just watch as the five people on the tracks reach their own demise.…

    We will study the relationship of force and the duration of the collision. In doing so we will observe the max force experienced by an accelerating cart when it impacts another cart with a spring. A stiff spring will be used. We will collect the information through two items. We will use distance and time as information collectors. This will measure the acceleration, velocity, and position of the cart as it moves down the track. The most important measurement collected is the velocity; which will be used to calculate the momentum.…

    A mass of an object is the fundamental measure of the amount of matter in the object. Weight is the force of the gravity on the object whereas mass is the weight of the object without gravitational pull. Momentum is mass in motion, momentum refers to the quantity of motion an object has. How much momentum an object has depends on two variables, the mass and the speed. Speed is the distance a moving object covers in a certain time. An object that covers long distance in a short period of time has a high speed whereas another object that covers the same distance in a longer period of time has a lower speed. In terms of an equation, momentum is equal to mass multiplied by its speed, therefore an object with a large mass or speed has high momentum. An object with high momentum is a lot harder to stop compared to an object with a lower momentum. This is because with more momentum, more force is applied towards the direction of which the object is moving, therefore…
