A=F/m lab Revisited

Nearly all the labs from AP Section 1 and many from AP Section 2 have to be redone. You had to find Ma from the slope of the graph and Force from Mhanging x g and compare them. Most of you simply said Ma = force. Some of you compared your slope to the slopes for point on the graph. This produced the not very startling fact that the slope = the slope. However you thought it proved slope = force. F =Ma is not to be assumed. It is the hypothesis we were testing!!! go back and reread the post from October 10th and do the lab right.
