Motion and interaction

Adjust force and mass for a cart. Predict the acceleration vector before running each case, then compare position, velocity, and acceleration graphs over time.

Adjust force and mass for a cart. Predict the acceleration vector before running each case, then compare position, velocity, and acceleration graphs over time. Current reading: Net-force setting 5 acts against mass setting 35. Acceleration follows their ratio, not either value alone.equal time intervals
What changed

Net-force setting 5 acts against mass setting 35. Acceleration follows their ratio, not either value alone.

Experiment after prediction.

Before changing a control, say which visible feature should move and which should remain invariant. That prediction is the useful part of the experiment; motion alone is not evidence.
