Force And Acceleration Paper 2

Question 1

What is the main purpose of the practical experiment?

Answer 1

To find out what happens to the acceleration when we change the mass and when we change the force.

Question 2

What happens to acceleration when force increases?

Answer 2

The more force, the more acceleration.

Question 3

What happens to acceleration when mass increases?

Answer 3

The more mass, the less acceleration.

Question 4

True or False: Changing the mass affects the force in the experiment.

Answer 4

False

Question 5

What is one possible source of error in the experiment?

Answer 5

Friction slows the trolley down.

Question 6

Fill in the blank: The _____ should stay the same when changing mass.

Answer 6

force

Question 7

Fill in the blank: The _____ should stay the same when changing force.

Answer 7

mass

Question 8

What are the independent variable (IV), dependent variable (DV), and control variables in the experiment?

Answer 8

IV: force or mass, DV: acceleration, control variables: either mass or force should remain constant.

Question 9

What type of graph may be interpreted to understand the results of the experiment?

Answer 9

Force-acceleration graph

Question 10

What might they ask you to calculate based on the experiment’s data?

Answer 10

They may ask to work out acceleration from force and mass or use change in velocity and time.
