Introduction
As indicated by Newton, an object in movement will keep on being in movement except if
an outer force affected it. This is the principle of his second law of motion or as known the
law of inertia. In this principle, a net force is required in order for an object to accelerate.
The experiment was conducted to identify the relationship between the acceleration of an
object to its mass and to the net force acting upon it.
Conclusion
The objectives of the experiment were met and Newton’s second law was observed. The
experiment then verifies that net force and acceleration is directly proportional. Also
verified was that mass and acceleration has an inverse proportionality relationship.
