newton’s second law (f = ma)
2
New cards
what is used to measure the acceleration of the trolley?
a light gate
3
New cards
what force causes acceleration in the experiment?
weight of the hanging masses (gravity)
4
New cards
how does adding mass to the trolley affect acceleration?
it decreases acceleration because the total mass increases while the force stays the same
5
New cards
how does transferring mass from the trolley to the hook affect acceleration?
it increases acceleration because the force increases while the total mass stays the same
