Data Table: A

Mass Push Force Time to 40 m/s Acceleration

50 kg 100N 19.94 m/s 2.01m/s

100 kg 100N 39.88 m/s 1.003 m/s

200 kg 100N 1:20:01 (80.1) m/s 0.5 m/s

300 kg 100N 2:00:15(120.15) m/s 0.33 m/s

Analysis: Data table A

1. My graph above, is slightly curved towards the bottom.

 2. Increasing the mass of an object, causes the amount of force to increase as well.
3. It would be about 150 kg needed to push a 0.75 cart.
Data Table: B

Mass Push Force Time to 40 m/s Acceleration

50 kg 100N 19.94 m/s 2.01 m/s

50 kg 200N 10.00 m/s 4 m/s

50 kg 300N 6.9 m/s 5.797 m/s

50 kg 400N 5.47 m/s 7.31 m/s

Analysis: Data table B

1. For the graph above, you’ll see it as a straight line at first, but if you look closely, you’ll
see that it curves as it increases.
 2. As the force increases, the acceleration does as well. For example, when there’s 400 N,
the acceleration was 7.31 m/s.

Data Table: C

Mass Push Force Time to 40 m/s Acceleration

50 kg 350N 13.34 m/s 3 m/s

50 kg 450 N 9.08 m/s 4.4 m/s

Analysis: Data table C

1. The 100N on the 50kg gives the same amount of acceleration as the 350 N.
2. The 200 N gives about the same acceleration as the 450 N.

After doing this lab, I learned that Push force plays a major role in the acceleration of an object!
Doing this lab made me even more familiar with finding the acceleration, I used to have trouble
with that! I improved with understanding how acceleration and force are connected. Watching a
visual of this happening also made it easier to remember things for my test. I’ll always remember
due to the visual!
