2. A group of students conduct an experiment to study Newton’s Second law of motion. They applied force to a toy car to measure the acceleration. The table shows the results.
Force: 2.0 Acceleration: 5.0
Force: 3.0. Acceleration: 7.5
Force: 6.0. Acceleration: 15.0
A. The data points will not fall along a line. This shows that the force increases, the acceleration decreases.
B. Data points will fall along a line. This shows that the force increases and the acceleration decreases.
C. The data points will fall along a line. This shows that the force increases and the acceleration decreases
D. The data points will not fall along a line. This shows as the force increases, the acceleration decreases.
The data points will fall along a line, this shows that as the force increases, the acceleration increases.
D. The data points will not fall along a line. This shows that as the force increases, the acceleration decreases. And boy, let me tell you, those data points sure know how to keep us on our toes. It's like they're in cahoots with Newton's laws just to make things interesting!
B. Data points will fall along a line. This shows that the force increases and the acceleration decreases.
To determine which statement is correct, we need to analyze the relationship between force and acceleration based on the given data.
First, let's plot the data points on a graph, with force on the x-axis and acceleration on the y-axis:
Force (N) | Acceleration (m/s^2)
---------------------------------------
2.0 | 5.0
3.0 | 7.5
6.0 | 15.0
Now, observe the pattern that the data points form on the graph.
From the given data, we can see that as force increases (from 2.0 N to 6.0 N), acceleration also increases (from 5.0 m/s^2 to 15.0 m/s^2). This indicates a positive correlation between force and acceleration.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer. The data points will fall along a line, and this shows that as the force increases, the acceleration also increases.
