Station 6 -- Ball Ramp Collision: Use the medium size steel ball to represent an "Equal Force" by rolling it down the ramp to collide with the big steel ball at the base of the ramp. Measure how far down the track the big steel ball went after being hit by the force. Next, repeat the experiment using the medium size steel ball, but this time, roll it down the ramp to make it collide with the small steel ball waiting at the base of the ramp. Compare the outcome for the big and small ball.

Predict: Which ball will travel furthest down the track?
• The big and small ball will travel an equal distance since an equal force hits them both.
• The larger ball will travel a further distance since it has a larger mass.
• The smaller ball will travel further since it has a smaller mass.

Which law BEST explains the outcome?
• Inertia
• F=ma
• Action/Reaction

Analyze: Explain what you observed and decide which law BEST explains the outcome of the experiment. Formulate an in-depth description explaining why the motion outcome occurred. Use words like "Inertia" "F=ma" or "Action/Reaction" to support your reasoning.
