    This document summarizes an experiment investigating Newton's Second Law of Motion. The experiment varied both the mass of a trolley and the pulling force to measure the effect on acceleration. Results show that as trolley mass increased, acceleration decreased, but as pulling force increased, acceleration also increased, demonstrating Newton's Second Law that force equals mass times acceleration.

    Aim : To investigate Newton's Second law of motion
    Method :

     
    Results : Part A Changing the trolley mass
    Hanging Mass (g) = Pulling Force Mass on Trolley (g) Acceleration of trolley

    50 773+0 0.048/10x0.02 = 0.24

    50 773+100 0.039/10x0.02 = 0.195

    50 773+200 0.036/10x0.02 = 0.18


     
    Part B Changing the Force
    Hanging Mass (g) = Pulling Force Mass on Trolley (g) Acceleration of trolley

    50 773+0 0.048/10x0.02 = 0.24

    150 773+0 0.084/10x0.02 = 0.42

    250 773+0 0.15/10x0.02 = 0.75


    a= velocity/ (number of intervals x 0.02)
     
    Conclusion: As the mass on the trolley increased the acceleration of the trolley decreased. However,
    when the hanging mass was increased in mass the acceleration increased.
