Pulling force (N) Initial velocity at A (m/s) Initial velocity at B Acceleration

(m/s) (m/s2)
0.1 0.5 0.8 0.3
1.1 0.8 1.2 0.7
2.3 1.0 1.5 1.2
3.3 1.2 1.8 1.6

1) Using a pencil draw a graph of Force versus acceleration where the force pulling is on the x-

axis.

2) Label the axes with the units

3) Draw a line of best fit in pencil extending it to the y axis or the origin (0,0)

4) What is the equation used to find acceleration if the distance is 0.56cm?

5) Add a column for time and calculate the time for a to b for the changing pulling force on the

trolley.

6) Does your graph show a linear relationship?

7) Does your graph show a directly proportional relationship? If it does how do you know this?

8) What is the independent variable?

9) What are the dependent variables?

10) What title can you give your graph

11) Why were masses pulling the trolley placed on the trolley during the experiment?
