NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTION LAB 3/8
FORCE = Mass X Acceleration
Problem: Does the amount of force affect the acceleration of an object?
Hypothesis: The amount of force has an affect on the acceleration of an object.
IV: Amount of force
DV: Acceleration
Hypothesis: The amount of force has an affect on the acceleration of an object.
IV: Amount of force
DV: Acceleration
Conclusion questions:
1. How does changing the force acting on the car affect the object's acceleration?
When there is more force, the acceleration is higher.
2. What relationship exists between force and acceleration?
More the force, higher the acceleration.

MASS LAB 3/18
Problem: Does the amount of mass affect the acceleration of an object?
Hypothesis: The more the mass is applied, the shorter the car will travel.
Hypothesis: The more the mass is applied, the shorter the car will travel.
Conclusion:
1. As the mass increases, the acceleration of the car decreases.
2. It's an inverse acceleration, with it decreasing while the mass decreases.
3. Increasing the amount of force would help increase the distance.
