Purpose:
We had to walk around the football field with an open container filled up with water to see in which areas the water was spilled. In addition, we needed to find out how much water we will lose in the end.
Procedure:
Fill the container with water. Have a member walk a lap. record the time taken during the lab and record the amount of water spilled. Record the amount of water spilled via filling the container back to max with a grad. cylinder and record the amount needed from the cylinder to fill the container. Repeat this process two more times.
Data:

Conclusion:
Regarding the recorded data, it is clear to see that the places in which the water spilled most were constant in the manner that they only spilled in places where there was a shift in the direction of the tray.
Application to Newton's Law:
In this lab, we were able to observe and compare our experiments and data in relation to the laws of physics that were coined by Galileo and Isaac Newton. The first one deals with inertia. Inertia is a quantity that depends solely on mass and in this experiment, it can be observed that as the mass of the tray diminishes due to the spilling of the water inside of it, the inertia decreases causes less water to spill out of the tray as it wobbles back and forth. The next of the laws deals with momentum and momentum is the quantity based on both mass and speed together. As an item moves down a sloping plane, it will either be slower if the mass is small or heavier if the mass is larger because larger objects carry more momentum down slopes. Speed also plays a role in momentum because the item may move faster or slower based on the speed at which it is initially moving. In our lab, there is almost a completely constant slope, so the momentum is only changing based on the change in mass since the speed is is also constant, for the most part. Another one of the laws is based not he state of motion, in which an object may resist the direction that it is moving in due to the obstruction of an external force. In this case, when he water shifted back and forth inside of the tray the friction of the walls of the tray from the inertia restrict the water from moving in certain directions at certain speeds. Lastly, there is the idea of balanced and unbalanced forces at work on the tray of water. There are two forces acting on the water within the tray in our experiments. The first force is the earth's gravitational downward pull on the tray of water and the second force is our hands pushing up not he tray of water to be able to hold it.
