Aim of the experiment: The goal of the lab experiment that we are about to do, is to find the
relationship of the applied force and Acceleration.

Hypothesis: The applied force has a direct relationship to the Accerlation of the object.

Variables:
- Applied Force (Independent Value.)

- Mass (Control Value.)

Justification: The mass can be controlled of the car as it depends what car we actually choose that is the
justification.

- Accerlation (Dependent Variable.)

- Distance the Object Must travel (42 cm) (Control Value.)

Justification: The Distance the object travels is a control value as you can set however much you want
your car to travel depending on the side of the stick.

- Initial Speed (Control Variable.)

- Angle of Inclination (Control Variable.)

- Accerlation (Dependent Variable.)

- Time. (Dependent Variable.)

Materials / Apparatus:
-Stopwatch

-Weighing Scale.

-Ruler / Scale.

-Plastic Car.

-Wood Plank.

-30 Gram Weights.

-40 Gram Weights.

-50 Gram Weights.

-60 Gram Weights.

-String.

-Pulley.
Procedure:

-Measure the plank that you will use with some scale and take the distance of it going down.

-With Wooden plank and actually hold it with a fixed angle of 45 Degrees.

-Get your string and attach it to your car and attach to your weights.

-Attach Pulley on either sides of the Wooden Plank.

-Make it so the toy car is on one side and your weighing item is on the other side with your
string.

-Move car to lower side of the Plank.

-Release the car and begin stopwatch.

-Stop the watch as as the car reaches the other side and note down the time.

-Repeat step 1-3 times.
