An experiment is performed in which a force is applied to two objects (A and B) and the resulting acceleration is measured. The graph below summarizes the results. Answer the following questions:
a. What is the relationship between force and acceleration?
b. What are the units for the slope of the line? Show you work below: acceleration (m/s2) Force (N)
c. Using the line equation (y = mx +b), derive a general equation that describes the relationship between force and acceleration.
d. What does the equation you derived above tell you about the relationship between mass and acceleration?
