Newton's Second Law: Force=Mass times Acceleration
Little Force->Little Acceleration
Big Force->Big Acceleration
Both have same mass
Force, mass, and acceleration are all related so if one part changes other parts will change.
Problem-Does the amount of force effect the amount of acceleration?
Hypothesis-We believe that the more force that is applied, the greater the acceleration will be. The less force that is applied, the less the acceleration

1. The more force that is being acted upon the car, the more it will accelerate.
2. The more force you put upon an object, the more acceleration. The less force you put upon an object, the less it will accelerate.
2. The more force you put upon an object, the more acceleration. The less force you put upon an object, the less it will accelerate.
Problem: Does the amount of mass affect the acceleration of an object
Hypothesis: We believe that the more mass is added to the car, the less the object will accelerate.
Hypothesis: We believe that the more mass is added to the car, the less the object will accelerate.
1. The more mass we add to the car, the less acceleration is forced upon the car, and the less distance is traveled
2. The more mass there is, the more force it takes to accelerate the object.
3. If you applied more force to the car with 750 grams, it will accelerate more and travel a farther distance.

3. If you applied more force to the car with 750 grams, it will accelerate more and travel a farther distance.
When the car is at rest, it is acted upon by an unbalanced force (2 neutons) causing it to accelerate.
