Question

Write a hypothesis for Part II of the lab, which is about the relationship described by F = ma. In the lab, you will use a toy car and apply forces to it. Use the format of "if . . . then . . . because . . .” and be sure to answer the lesson question "How can Newton's laws be experimentally verified?” specific to Newton’s second law.

Answer 1

Sample Response: If force is applied to a car, then its acceleration will change proportionally, as predicted by Newton’s second law, F = ma.

Answer 2

Answer:

F=ma is the relationship where, F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

Newton's second law states that  the unbalanced force applied to the object accelerates the object which is directly proportional to the force and inversely to the mass.

If we apply force to a toy car then It will accelerate.

This is how Newton's second law of motion is verified.
