Lab videos: Developing a relationship between acceleration and mass or force
Experimental design introductory video
The video below introduces the system and the experimental changes. Your teacher will likely provide you with additional instruction/directions.
Videos
Your teacher will assign videos for you to analyze, as well as reminding you of the procedure for calculating the acceleration of the system in each video.
- The timer reads to the one-hundredths of seconds. If the hundredths place digit is blurry, try quickly clicking start then pause to get to the next clear reading.
- The track is marked to the centimeter marks. The ten centimeters marks have a circle around the number.
- Remember: Your teacher will most likely want you to record in meters, not centimeters. Just like dollars and cents (94 cents = $0.94), you can just move the decimal place two positions (94 cm = 0.94 m).
