Students in a science class conducted an investigation to demonstrate that, by Newton’s second law of motion, the ratio between the net force and the acceleration produced is constant. They manipulated the net force applied to an object and measured the acceleration that the object acquired in response. The results are shown in the table.

Question

Net force (N):, Acceleration:
2.4, 9.6
1.4, 5.6
3.2, 12.8

The students want to present their results in a graph. How should they organize the graph to show the data they collected?

A) use the y-axis for force and the c-axis for the ratio between the force and acceleration

B) use the x-axis for the force and the y-axis for the acceleration

C) use the y-axis for the force and the x-axis for the acceleration

D) use the x-axis for the force and the y-axis for the ratio between the force and acceleration

Answer 1

demonstrate that, by Newton’s second law of motion, the ratio between the net force and the acceleration produced is constant

Well B would be ok but note their task:
"........... demonstrate that, by Newton’s second law of motion, the ratio between the net force and the acceleration produced is constant ......"
D should give you a perfectly horizontal line at y = m = F/a

Answer 2

Thank you !

Answer 3

anonymous is Wrong. The answer is B

Answer 4

its b for balls B)
