proving newtons second law

How does mass and acceleration relate to force?

Materials used:
long wooden plank (track) toy car, weights, stop watch, data table

Hypothesis:
the more weight in the car would make it go down the slope faster

Procedure: 
have three different weights and three different clinch slopes. time all three weights for all three inclines.


  • gather materials
  • make chart according to procedure
  • set up an interval of weights to test 
  • find mass of car 
  • measure height of incline per every test
  • send cars down incline
  • find times via stopwatch
  • find results in data table
Conclusion: 
depending on the force of the object it changes the acceleration time
