A group of students completed an experiment to study Newton’s second law of motion, by applying force to a toy car and measuring its acceleration. The table below shows the results:
Force (N) Acceleration (m/s²)
2.0 5.0
3.0 7.5
6.0 15.0
If these data points were graphed, which conclusion could the students make?
Responses
1) The data points will not fall along a line. This shows that as the force increases, the acceleration decreases.
2) The data points will not fall along a line. This shows that as the force increases, the acceleration increases.
3) The data points will fall along a line. This shows that as the force increases, the acceleration decreases.
