Investigating the Relationship Between Acceleration and Mass: A Physics Practical Activity

The video tutorial explains an experiment to investigate the relationship between the acceleration of a trolley and its mass while keeping the resultant force constant. It covers the setup, procedure, and analysis of data, demonstrating that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, aligning with Newton's second law of motion.

What is the main objective of the experiment discussed in the video?

• To investigate the relationship between acceleration and mass

• To calculate the force of gravity

• To measure the speed of a trolley

• To determine the friction on a runway

What is the first step in the procedure of the experiment?

• Set up the motion sensor

• Release the trolley

• Attach the string to the trolley

• Find the mass of the trolley

Which equipment can be used to measure the acceleration of the trolley?

• A voltmeter

• A motion sensor or light gates

• A barometer

• A thermometer

What is the independent variable in this experiment?

• The acceleration of the trolley

• The mass of the trolley

• The slope of the runway

• The force of gravity

What should be kept constant as a control variable in the experiment?

• The mass of the trolley

• The speed of the trolley

• The slope of the runway

• The acceleration of the trolley

What does the graph indicate about the relationship between mass and acceleration?

• They are directly proportional

• They are equal

• They are inversely proportional

• They are unrelated

What happens to the acceleration when the mass of the trolley is doubled?

• It triples

• It remains the same

• It doubles

• It halves
