Q
Give the method for the practical- investigating force, mass and acceleration
A
1) cut an interruption card to a know length and attach it to an air track glider
2) set up the equipment. Make sure the air track is level, and that the card will pass through both gates before the masses strike the floor
3) set the data logging software to calculate acceleration
4) use scales to measure the tots mass of the glider, string and weight sack. Record value
5) attach the full weight stack to the end of the string
6) make sure the glider is in position and switch on the air blower. The glider should accelerate
7) remove one weight and attach it to the glider using blu-tack. Keeps the total mass constant
8) repeat steps 6/7 removing a weight at a time
