...Wow. I'm sorry, I've been really stressed out. Now I'm embarrassed. Thank you though!

Homework Statement Here is the objective: To experiment with the resultant of two gravitational forces. In particular, you will find the equilibrium position for a test mass located on a line between two point masses. Here are the instructions: (1) Drag the test mass (red disk) to an...

Oh wow, that makes sense. I don't know how I missed that. So back to the graph, since it is increasing, it is showing that force is increasing?

Here are the "basic principles": In this experiment you will investigate the acceleration acquired by a body acted on by a constant force. A cart is accelerated toward the right by the tension force in a string. That tension depends on the value of the hanging mass at the other end of the...

Force was held constant throughout the experiment

So the force is increasing which accounts for the positive linear graph?

Homework Statement Okay, so here's the question: Does your plot of acceleration versus hanging mass verify the Second Law? Explain your answer. The experiment involved a cart with weights and a hanging mass on the edge of a table. After each trial, one weight was removed from the cart...
