Day of Experiments in scientific method form Design #2

Hypothesis: If I place a light cup on a newspaper with an edge and then pull back quickly, then the cup will roll forward

Procedure:

1. Gather a light cylinder shaped cup and a sheet of newspaper
2. Fold the edge of the newspaper over to create about an inch lip
3. Place the newspaper a flat surface with the edge side down
4. Place the cup on top of the newspaper
5. Put the newspaper back as fast as possible without curving the paper or making the paper a ramp

Results :

When following the procedures little change in the cups position occurred. 

Conclusion 

When using a light cup and a edged piece of newspaper I was unable to move the cup enough to go a foot let alone 5 tiles. I suspect that the forces at work are not strong enough to overcome inertia or keep the cup spinning and without making a put upwards when the cup is rolling because of the slope created, it is not possible to move even a very light cup far with a newspaper .
