- 3. 2.3 Force andacceleration 29 October 2013 LO’s Be able to explain how force and mass affect acceleration The F18 Hornet aircraft takes off at 140mph and weighs almost 30 tons. Aircraft carriers are not long enough for it to reach this speed. Steam catapults help the launch. © V Majer
- 4. How are forceand acceleration connected? Diagram Trolley String pulley Ramp Method 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Set up apparatus as shown. Attach a 50g mass to the end of the string. Time how long it takes for the trolley to travel 1 metre. Add another 50g and repeat. Take 5 different readings. Results Weight (N) Time (s) Weight
- 5. Acceleration is proportionalto force • The mass pulls the trolley along the track, and it accelerates because of _______. • If we increase the weight (a force), acceleration will ______. Force Complete this sketch graph. Acceleration
- 6. Acceleration is proportionalto force • The mass pulls the trolley along the track, and it accelerates because of gravity. • If we increase the weight (a force), acceleration will increase. Force Force increases so the acceleration increases. Acceleration
- 7. Acceleration is inverselyproportional to mass. • If this time we change the mass of the object being pulled, increasing it by 1kg. • The following graph is obtained. acceleration mass
- 8. Check You should beable to: All Be able to explain that if force is increased acceleration is increased and if Mass is increased then acceleration is decreased. Most Be able to use equation ( if given) Force = mass x acceleration.
- 9. Practical. • A trolleyrolls along a track. • A ticker timer is used to calculate speed and acceleration • Different forces are use to start it moving • Then different masses are added and the experiment is repeated

- 13. Question • What isthe relationship between the acceleration and the mass? ( Use an ER............ER relationship)
- 14. We have discovered: 1.As force increases so does acceleration. (This is common sense, the harder you push something, the faster it moves!) 2. As weight increases, acceleration decreases. (Again, this isn’t rocket science! If something’s heavy it’s hard to shift!) Copy
