P5: Quiz 16
1) Write the equation for Newton’s second law – include the units for each of the variables.
2) We are able to use the apparatus below to investigate motion.
2) We are able to use the apparatus below to investigate motion.
a) How can we use the apparatus above to investigate the effect that mass has on acceleration?
b) Describe the relationship that we will observe between mass and acceleration.
3)
a) Using the same apparatus as question 2, how can we use the apparatus to investigate the effect that force has on acceleration?
b) Describe the relationship that we will observe between force and acceleration.
4) Friction is a resistive force. How can we modify the experiment to eliminate/ reduce the effect of friction?
5) Describe how a single light gate measures the acceleration of the trolley. Talk about the shape of the piece of card and the two equations that are used.
6) A student completed an experiment to investigate the effect that force has on acceleration. Her results are shown in the table below.
b) Describe the relationship that we will observe between mass and acceleration.

6) A student completed an experiment to investigate the effect that force has on acceleration. Her results are shown in the table below.
a) Plot the values for force and acceleration on the graph below and draw a line of best fit.
b) Describe the relationship between the force and acceleration.
c) Use your graph to calculate the mass of the system. Give your answer to 2 decimal places. Hint: pick a point on the graph or in the table and sub the values into F = ma – then solve to find m.
