A group of students conduct an experiment to study Newton’s second law of motion. They applied a force to a toy car and measure its acceleration. The table shows the results.

Question

Force (N) Acceleration (m/s²)
2.0 5.0
3.0 7.5
6.0 15.0
If the students graph the data points, which conclusion will they be able to make?

(1 point)
Responses

The data points will not fall along a line. This shows that as the force increases, the acceleration decreases.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion the students will be able to make based on their data is:

The data points will fall along a line. This shows that as the force increases, the acceleration increases.

This conclusion is in line with Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F = ma). As the applied force increases, the acceleration also increases, leading to a linear relationship.
