Experiment #1: Acceleration vs. Force

Link https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/html/forces-and-motion-basics/latest/forces-and-motion-basics_en.html

In this lab you will determine the relationship between acceleration and net force.

  • Choose a mass at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment.
  • Set the friction to zero.  This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force.
  • Record data for five different values of Applied Force.
  • Graph Acceleration vs. Net Force.
    • Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line).
    • Make sure that Applied Force information is used as the x value
    • Make sure that Acceleration information is used as the y value
    • Add a trendline – see what fits best – linear, exponential, polynomial, etc …
    • Add a copy of you graph below the table
