Hypothesis: For an increase in a normal force, there will be a corresponding increase in friction.

Introduction: Force is usually connected with a push or pull exerted on an object. In this experiment, I am using a contact force, a force that exists from physical contact between two things. I am pulling the spring scale, which measure force in Newtons (kg x m/s2), and then the block is moving. Different masses (kg), or the measure of the resistance of an object to changes in its motion due to a force, of an object have different accelerations (∆v/∆t). The more massive the object is, the smaller its acceleration. Newton's third law of force says that if two object interact, the force F12 exerted by object 1 on object 2 is equal and opposite to the force F21 exerted by object 2 on object 1. The action force, F12, and the reaction force, F21, act on different objects.
