Question

Students are using the experimental setup shown in the image in which the two ends of a string are attached to a car and to a hanger. The students conduct three trials in which they place metal discs on the hanger to manipulate the force applied to the car. As a result, the car accelerates along the table while two photogate probes collect motion data. On the fourth trial of this experiment, a student places some discs on the car by mistake. In 1-2 sentences, explain how this mistake will affect the graphs produced by the computer.
