Discussions: In the first procedure, the students have 4 different trials with 4 different mass (slotted mass + hanger, in kilogram) which is: 0.06 kg, 0.07 kg, 0.1 kg, and 0.15 kg. We can get the Force by multiplying the mass in each trial by the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/ s2.

Discussions: In the first procedure, the students have 4 different trials with 4 different mass (slotted mass + hanger, in kilogram) which is: 0.06 kg, 0.07 kg, 0.1 kg, and 0.15 kg. We can get the Force by multiplying the mass in each trial by the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/ s2. To compute for the the True Value of Acceleration, we should divide the Force in Newton by mass in kilogram. To compare the values, we must also compute for the experimental value by dividing distance from the weight hanger to the floor by the time interval squared. V. Conclusion We therefore conclude that Force is present when there is a change in motion, or in acceleration. There is an increase in acceleration, if there is an increase in the net force applied, making acceleration directly proportional with the applied net force. In this experiment, Newtons 2nd Law of Motion follows 2 consequences when 2 physical quantities are brought into picture. The statement of Newtons 2nd Law of Motion is equally applicable to objects experiencing negative acceleration. VI. Recommendations De Leon, Jewel There is a variation of this experiment, in which the force is held constant but the mass of the trolley is altered by attaching further masses. This may be conducted to provide data for the complementary relationship indicated by Newton's second law: for a given applied force, the acceleration of the trolley is inversely proportional to its mass. Delos Reyes, Mc Einarson The resulting straight line fit on the graph should be scrutinized for sources of error. The quality of the fit is reduced if the suggested procedure for maintaining the total mass constant is ignored. Dio, Nikko Martel A common outcome is a very small intercept near the graph origin. The most likely cause of this is neglect of the effect of friction on the motion of the trolley. Esteves, Christian To reduce the percentage error, determine the weight of the instruments that will be used, always assure the accuracy of its measurement, that will then lead to a concise, and accurate computation of the data.

Galvez, Juan Enrique This experiment proves the 2nd Law of Motion, describing that an objects acceleration is directly proportional with the applied net force acting on it, but it is inversely proportional to its mass.
