Newton's Second Law states that force equals mass times acceleration. This can be investigated using a set-up like this one. You can use this set-up to investigate how changing two separate factors, ...
One of the most basic things students do in a physics lab is to collect data and use that to build a model. Most of these models come in the form of a mathematical function. But here is the problem.
When a relationship between two variables is defined by a curve it means that the gradient, or rate of change is always varying. An average speed for a journey can be found from a distance-time graph ...
