Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain how to investigate the effect of force or mass on the acceleration of an object.

Show transcript
Acceleration can be measured accurately using light gates or roughly measured using a stopwatch and ruler. The acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant force acting on the object. The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Newton's Second Law states that F = m × a.
