Aim: a:, To observe changes in motion due to changes in force and measure force, mass and acceleration, and examine their influence on motion. b: To investigate the relationship between the variables; mass, force and acceleration and determine an inertial mass through the use of a trolley, ticker-timer and set of slotted masses. Introduction: Newton's second law states "The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude …showed first 75 words of 863 total…

Conclusion: As 50g masses we transferred from the trolley to the mass carrier, the force pulling the system forward was increased, but the mass of the entire system remained constant. It was then possible to manipulate the results to derive and prove a relationship between the three vector quantities measured, force, mass and acceleration. F=ma
