Aim: My aim is to investigate the F=MA rule and establish links between acceleration, force and mass and how they affect each other. Prediction: I predict that the acceleration will be effected by the mass and other factors like friction and aerodynamics. The force will be affected by mass, but in this experiment we need to find the acceleration, the formula can be re-arranged to read a=f/m. Theory: In this investigation I intend to look at three factors 1. Shape or Size 2. Speed in a straight line 3. Direction Forces are measured in Newtons (N) named after the person who invented it, Sir Isaac Newton. When several forces act on an object they can either combined to make an overall force, which will change the objects shape or motion, or they could cancel each other out giving no overall force. In the last case the overall forces are balanced. If there is no force acting,...
