It's not 600m you're multiplying (m means mass in that context) it's 600g.Eram Ahmed said:
Yes sorry that was a typo, I meant 600 g. So shouldn't the answer be 3600 Newtons then? F=ma?Hiero said:
No, the answer should then be 3600 g⋅m/s2Eram Ahmed said:
An A vs Mass graph shows the relationship between acceleration (A) and mass. The slope of the graph indicates the force acting on the object, with a steeper slope representing a larger force. The x-intercept of the graph represents the mass of the object, as it is the point where the acceleration is zero.
The formula for finding the magnitude of force from an A vs Mass graph is F = m x a, where F represents force, m represents mass, and a represents acceleration. This is derived from Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that force is equal to mass times acceleration.
Yes, the magnitude of force can be negative on an A vs Mass graph. This indicates that the force is acting in the opposite direction of the acceleration. For example, if an object is slowing down due to friction, the force would be negative as it opposes the direction of motion.
To determine the net force on an object using an A vs Mass graph, you can plot the acceleration and mass values of the object and find the slope of the line. The slope represents the net force acting on the object. You can also use the formula F = m x a to calculate the net force.
Some potential sources of error when finding the magnitude of force from an A vs Mass graph include inaccurate measurements of acceleration and mass, friction or air resistance affecting the motion of the object, and human error in plotting the data points or calculating the slope of the graph.
