Investigating Acceleration and Force: Newton's Second Law of Motion Practical Activity

The video tutorial explains an experiment to investigate the relationship between the acceleration of an object and the force acting on it, in line with Newton's Second Law. It covers the setup using a dynamics trolley, a runway, and a pulley system. The experiment involves varying the force by adjusting weights while keeping the total mass constant. Data is collected to plot acceleration against force, demonstrating a linear relationship. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of control variables and provides methods for measuring acceleration.

What measurements need to be taken to find the acceleration of the trolley?

How does the line of best fit relate to Newton's Second Law of motion in this experiment?
