The Law
The law
Force = mass times acceleration or F=MA
Increase the mass, you will need more force. Keep mass same, but make it accelerate it faster, increase force.
Lab 1
Problem
How does the amount of force affect the acceleration of an object?
Hypothesis
As we put more force on the car, it will accelerate quicker and travel a farther distance.

Lab 2
Problem
How does the amount of mass on a car affect its acceleration?
Hypothesis
When we increase the mass on the car, the acceleration will decrease.

Conclusion Questions
- It will accelerate faster when more force is applied.
- The more force there is, the higher the acceleration.

Hypothesis
When we increase the mass on the car, the acceleration will decrease.
Results
Conclusion Questions
- The acceleration of the object is lower when there is more mass.
- Greater mass will decrease the acceleration of the object.
- One should increase the force applied on the car.
