In class this week we did an experiment to analyze Newton's second law of motion. Which has to do with the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. We did a number of trials which included changing the mass and then changing the force. This was a very successful lab that helped to further explain the law. To understand this concept we must remember that force is at equilibrium. But the equation for force goes as follows: F net= (mass)*(acceleration). So when you look at the equation if the mass is larger then the acceleration must be less because it has to equal that certain value. This experiment really enhanced my understanding of this law.
