Hello,
After collecting data for the classic physics experiment - motion down an inclined plane, I assembled my graph, and found something startling; in my graph, acceleration is proportional to mass (use the attached file for reference).
Theoretically, my graph should resemble the inverse, by a ∝ 1/m.
Can anyone explain possible reasons for this?
The experiment was running a margarine container down a wooden slope, varying the mass of the margarine container by adding brass weights each time.
