Product Details

AP Physics 1, Big Ideas 2 & 3, Investigation 3

Newton’s laws of motion are foundational in classical mechanics and allow students to predict the effects of forces on the motion of objects. Newton’s second law quantitatively describes the relationship between the net force on an object and its acceleration.

The investigation begins with an introductory activity in which students are presented with a modified Atwood’s machine consisting of a Hall’s carriage connected to a hanging mass. As students make observations, ask questions, explain and predict, they identify the variables that affect the acceleration of the system. Once the introductory activity is completed, students design and carry out experiments to determine the acceleration of the system by first manipulating the net force on the system and then by manipulating the total mass of the system. An analysis of the results will lead to a deeper understanding of the relationships among the net force exerted on an object, its inertial mass and its acceleration.

Complete for 24 students working in groups of three. Timers are required and available separately. All materials are reusable.
