(a) (i) Explain how the student can use this apparatus to demonstrate Newton’s Second Law.
Include details of any additional equipment required. [3]

(ii) A 0.25 kg glider is pulled by a 1.0 N force.
Calculate the acceleration of the glider using the formula: [1]

force = mass x acceleration

answer: ........................... m/s2

(iii) Suggest reasons why the recorded value was less than your calculated value. [2]

(b) The student repeats the experiment for 4 more forces.

Picture
There is an anomaly in the results.
