Newton's Three Laws of Motion Lab Activity

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. In other words, a larger object will have a smaller acceleration for a given force, and if you exert a larger force on an object with a given mass, it will accelerate more.
In other words, Newton's Second Law of Motion says that if a non-zero net (total) force acts on an object, that object will accelerate. Further, the object will accelerate more if the net force acting on it is large, and will accelerate less if the object has a large mass.
