Force, Mass and Acceleration Lab

Instead of lecturing about Newton's Second Law, we are going to discover it for ourselves. To whit, we will answer the following questions:

Question 1: How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration?

Question 2: How does the net force applied to an object affect that object's acceleration?

Here is the lab we will use to answer these questions (click here for honors version). We will be taking data today, tomorrow, and possibly Monday. Next week we will talk about errors and complete some analysis questions.

There is no homework tonight.
