Investigation 1: What is varied?

Force (by adding 10g weights to stack)

Investigation 1: What stays constant?

Mass of car

Starting mass for weight stack

10g

Investigation 2: What is varied?

Mass of car (add 10g each time)

Acceleration formula using velocities

a=vf−vita = \frac{v_f - v_i}{t}

Alternative acceleration formula

a=dt2a = \frac{d}{t^2}

Law reinforced by this practical

Newton's Second Law of Motion
