Newton's law: acceleration as a function of mass with the 2-1 timer

Principle

In this experiment the pupil should examine acceleration as a function of the accelerated mass, with a constant accelerating mass. The acceleration-mass graph should lead the pupils to the formula F = m · a.

Benefits

• Especially accurate and reproducible results due to the use of light barriers and the Timer 2-1
• Timer 2-1 can be used for versatile applications, for example for teacher experiments due to ist great display
• Very modern student experiments which fully cover the curriculum subject "Motion"
