Force (N)
Graphing Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
Plot the data from your logic puzzle as well as the data below into the grid. When drawing your lines on the
graph, remember that zero force will always mean zero acceleration. You will have one line for each student.

1. Use as much of the graph as possible
2. Use text boxes to label your scale.
3. Use the line tool to create your lines.
4. Use different color lines for each
student in the puzzle.
5. Use text boxes to label your lines.
6. When creating your lines, create
them for the entire length of the graph.
Acceleration (m/s²)
1. What can the graph you created be used to predict? Answer in a complete sentence, please.
2. One Newton of force is the same thing as 1kg x 1m/s². In a complete sentence and using scientific
vocabulary, explain whand Newton of force represents.
