Charlotte is investigating Newton's second law of motion. She hypothesizes that if she applies a constant force of 10 N, then increasing the mass of the toy car will result in an increased acceleration. The results of her
experiment are in the table.
THE EFFECT OF THE MASS OF A TOY CAR ON ITS ACCELERATION
Force Applied (N) Mass of Toy Car (9) Acceleration of Toy Car
(m/s2)
10 N
1.0 m/s2
10 N
200 g
0.5 m/s2
10 N
0.3 m/s2
100 g
300 g
How should Charlotte phrase her conclusion?
