Newton’s second law of
motion. They applied a force
to a toy car and measure its
acceleration. The table
shows the results.

data points, which
conclusion will they be able
to make?

The correct conclusion from the data provided is:

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

This conclusion is consistent with Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting upon it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = ma). The data points suggest a linear relationship between force and acceleration.
