Question

a student wants to support the claim that in order to accelerate a heavy object and a light object at the same rate, more force will be needed to accelerate the heavy object. What kind of investigation can they do to support this claim?

Answer 1

A scientific investigation

Explanation:

To support the claims, a scientific investigation should be carried out.

This investigation should be centered around newton's second law of motion which states that "force is a product of mass and acceleration".

• To do this study, a laboratory with a controlled environment is desired.
• Understand the concept of acceleration, force and mass;
•  

Force is the pull or push on a body

Acceleration is the change in the velocity of a body with time

Mass is the amount of matter in a substance

    Force = mass x acceleration

To attain equal acceleration between the two bodies, according to the expression above,

 the force applied on the smaller one must be very low

force on the heavier mass should be very great

Make sure the two bodies are on the same kind of surface.

Scientifically and systematically alter the force until a uniform acceleration is attained.
