Mass and Acceleration In Class Experiment

On Monday, February 15, 2016, our class was based around experimenting with acceleration and mass- seeing as the two correlate and show a distinct relationship. We tried multiple power levels with the same mass (2.5 kg) and found that each time we changed the power level, there was a difference in acceleration.

For example, at power level 100 and with the mass at 2.5 kg, the acceleration came to be 59.4602, but at power level 75 (while still remaining at the same 2.5 kg mass) the acceleration decreased and came out to be 30.7652.

Here are some of our recorded results:

This is a photo of our trials; we recorded various power levels along with the Mass in kg and the acceleration that would change with each change in power level and mass.
