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 increases.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion that the students will be able to make from their experiment is:

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

This conclusion aligns with Newton's second law of motion (F = ma), which states that acceleration is directly proportional to the net force applied to an object when mass is constant. Given the acceleration values provided, the data points can be expected to form a linear relationship when plotted on a graph with force on the x-axis and acceleration on the y-axis.
