Science Investigation 1

The document describes several experiments involving forces. It lists the task performed, the changes observed, and what produced the force in each experiment. Some key examples include: 1) Rolling a tennis ball down a ramp made with a pencil case showed the ball going down the ramp due to gravitational force overcoming the balanced force. 2) Rubbing a balloon on a jacket and bringing it near hair showed the balloon floating on the hair due to weak friction and gravitational forces. 3) Suspending a hanging mass from a spring showed the spring stretching more when a heavier object was used, demonstrating the spring's ability to measure mass.
