Question

In a Net Force vs Acceleration graph: clearly identify the physical quantity associated with the components of the equation of a line. Hint:Rewrite so that dependent variable (the y-coordinate value) is alone on the left side of the equation. 1. Identify the physical quantity associated with the y component of the equation of a line. Hint: The answer is not the net force. 2.Identify the physical quantity associated with the x component of the equation of a line. Hint:The answer is not the acceleration. 3. a.Identify the physical quantity associated with the m component of the equation of a line. Hint:The answer is not the mass . b.Calculate the total mass of the moving experimental apparatus by using the answer from Part a.

Explanation / Answer

F=ma, Since the mass is held constant as you increase the acceleration the force increases. This is because force is directly proportional to acceleration. Y is the independent variable or acceleration and force is on the x axis. When you plot it you should get a straight diagonal line depending on how good your data is. This is because as you increased the force on the mass, it accelerated faster Also the slope should be your mass
