EXPERIMENT 1: "RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESULTANT FORCE AND

ACCELERATION" (NEWTON”S SECOND LAW).

Aim: To verify the relationship between resultant force and acceleration.

Theory/Background

We studied Newton’s second law of motion and we know that it states that:

If a resultant force acts on a body, it will cause the body to accelerate in the direction of the
resultant force. The acceleration of the body will be directly proportional to the resultant
force and inversely proportional to the mass of the body. The mathematical representation
is:
⃗
𝑭⃗ ?
𝒂⃗ ⃗ =
𝒎

Apparatus

Trolley
Track for the trolley
Ticker timer and tape
Batteries or transformer for the ticker timer.
String
Pulley
Thread
Mass pieces.

7. Place the unused masses provided on the trolley. You are going to transfer them to
the mass holder each time the accelerating force is increased. This ensures that the
total mass experiencing acceleration remains constant throughout the experiment.
8. Start the timer and release the system leaving it free to move with acceleration.
9. Remove the tape and select two displacements of ten intervals each (PQ and QR)
from the starting point and measure the distance covered in each case (look the
diagram below).

10. Count 5 dots of the first displacement PQ and mark with an X, count 5 dots for the
second displacement QR and mark with a Y. See figure above.
11. Repeat the steps 11 and 11 but hanging masses of 40 g and 60 g respectably,
transferring them from the trolley.

1. Determine the period of the ticker timer for the selected frequency. 𝑇 =
