Experiment 1: Newton's Second Law

Analysis

Fixed Total Mass

Calculate the mean time for each trial, and then use those values to calculate the acceleration for each trial.
Make a graph of your measured acceleration versus the force (m_sg)
Is the shape of your graph in agreement with Newton's second law? Why or why not?
What should the slope of your graph be? Hint: look at equation 1.1. Calculate the percent error between the accepted value and the your slope

Fixed Acceleration

Calculate the mean time for each trial, and then use those values to calculate the acceleration for each trial
Make a graph of your measured acceleration versus the inverse of the total mass (1/m_g+m_s)
Is the shape of your graph in agreement with Newton's second law? Why or why not?
What should the theoretical slope of your line be? Calculate the percent error for your slope value.

Measuring Velocity

Calculate the acceleration for each trial; now compare your results with the acceleration you obtained for each from the fixed total mass part.
Between the methods for finding acceleration for the fixed total mass, which one is more accurate? Why?
