There are 3 laws of motion
Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.

The relationship between an object's mass, its acceleration a, and the applied force. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.


OBJECT
Distance
Weight
Plastic wheel
403.5 cm
2.8 g
Eye bolt
746 cm
2.1 g
Screw
383 cm
4.1 g


1st law of motion the spring being released is the unbalanced force

2nd law of motion was the screw it was the heaviest so it landed the closest.

3rd law of motion- the spoon is the action force and the object is the reaction force.
