    1. The document describes an experiment to study the relationship between force and acceleration. 2. The experiment involves pulling trolleys down an inclined plane with varying numbers of elastic cords, from 1 cord up to 5 cords, and measuring the acceleration using a ticker timer. 3. It is expected that increasing the number of cords, and therefore the force, will increase the acceleration, based on the hypothesis that acceleration is directly proportional to force.

    INSTRUMENT :SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION EXPERIMENT REPORT

    INSTRUCTION:

    1. Prepare a report with the procedures for an Investigative Scientific Experiment from the
    stimulus shown in the diagram.

    STIMULUS:

    DIAGRAM 1.1 DIAGRAM 1.2


    Diagram 1.1 shows a horse pulling a carriage. Diagram 1.2 shows two horses of the same
    strength are now pulling the same carriage. It is observed that the carriage in Diagram
    1.2, moves faster than that in Diagram 1.1.

    APPARATUS :Ticker timer, 12 V a.c. power supply, 2 identical trolleys and inclined plane.
    MATERIALS :5 elastic cords and ticker tape.
    PROCEDURE :

    1. Arrange the apparatus as shown in the diagram.


    2. Switch on the ticker timer and pull the trolleys using the elastic cord (1F) attached
    to the trolleys.
    3. Analyse the ticker tape to determine the acceleration, a of the trolleys and record
    the value.
    4. Repeat procedures 1 to 3 using two (2F), three, (3F), four (4F), and five (5F), elastic
    cords, each time the cords are pulled to fixed (constant) length.
    5. Plot the graph of acceleration, a against force, F
    6. Determine the gradient of the graph.
