Investigating what effects the acceleration of an object; will its mass or the force acting on it effect the acceleration.

Aim:

I am trying to find out what effects the acceleration of an object; will its mass or the force acting on it effect the acceleration. In order to carry out this investigation I will do two experiments. Firstly, I will add a mass on to the end of a trolley and a piece of ticker tape will be attached to the end of a trolley, which will go through a ticker timer, which is a piece of equipment that has a vibrating mechanism inside of it that once on will make dots on a piece of ticker tape, once the trolley finishes you can see on the ticker tape that the dots will be farther apart from the last showing acceleration. I will do this three times adding on more mass each time which will make the trolley go faster than the last.

Secondly, I will add a weight on to the trolley and a piece of ticker tape will be attached to the end of the trolley like the last experiment, which will go through the ticker timer once the trolley finishes you can see on the ticker tape that the dots will be closer together not farther apart like the last experiment. I will do this three times adding more weight each time, which will make the trolley go slower than the last.

Fair test:

I will change the mass upon the trolley, which will and slow ...
