What is the mass in the first trial

What is the force in the first trial

Create a data table of the first trial, posicion (m) and time (s)

Using the data, create a graph showing distance and time for Trial 1

What is the mass in the second trial

What is the force in the second trial

Create a data table of the second trial, posicion (m) and time (s)

Using the data, create a graph showing distance and time for Trial 2.

Using the data, create a graph showing distance and time for Trial 1 and Trial 2 together

You will now calculate the acceleration for the firts trial.

Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the force applied to the object (in Newtons) by the mass of the object (in kilograms). Use the force and mass you recorded to calculate the rate of acceleration for each trial. The formula is f=ma a=f/m

You will now calculate the acceleration for the second trial.

Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the force applied to the object (in Newtons) by the mass of the object (in kilograms). Use the force and mass you recorded to calculate the rate of acceleration for each trial. The formula is f=ma a=f/m

Find the force applied to a box of 2Kg, if the acceleration is 4m/s²

Newton’s second law of motion states that the amount of force exerted on an object is directly related to the mass and acceleration of that object.

This can also be rearranged to state that the acceleration of an object can be impacted by the mass and the force exerted on that object.

In this demonstration, the force was kept constant, while the mass of the object was increased.

Using the calculated data in question 11 and 12, Create a bar graph comparing the acceleration and mass in each trial.
