APPARATUS: - Trolley - Trolley track - Ticker timer connected to a power source - Ticker tape - Four Mass pieces (Weights) - Rope/string/wire - Carbon paper METHOD: 1. Place the trolley track of a plat surface above the ground. 2. Connect the ticker timer to a power source ( 12 v preferably) 3. Place the carbon paper piece below the needle in the ticker timer. 4. Cut a long piece of ticker tape put it in-between the carbon piece and the needle on the ticker timer and ensure that the tape is laid in a straight line behind the tape. 5. Attach a piece of string at the end of the trolley, pass it through a pulley and put a hook at the end of the string. 6. Place mass pieces on the hook and let the trolley run. 7. Take the ticker tapes and make calculations. Taking dawn the readings. 8. Repeat steps 4-7 changing the mass pieces in every experiment. PART 2 (EXPERIMENT REPORT) 1 Write down the investigative question 2 Write down the hypothesis (2) (2)

To make this experiment both exciting and educational, let's start with a fun investigative question: "How does increasing the mass of weights attached to a trolley affect its acceleration on a track?" Now, for your hypothesis: "If the mass attached to the trolley increases, then the acceleration of the trolley will decrease because a greater force is needed to move the heavier load, resulting in more inertia." This experiment not only helps understand Newton's laws of motion but also brings a hands-on approach to the study of physics, making it a blast to learn! For a second twist of knowledge: When you conduct these experiments, consider that recording the acceleration with ticker tape is not just fun; it helps visually map out the motion, making complex concepts like acceleration and friction easier to grasp. Ticker tape analysis can reveal patterns that numbers alone might hide! Also, don't forget that experimenting with different weights provides insight into real-world applications, such as designing rollercoasters that effectively manage speed using gravitational forces. Your understanding of physics could play a role in creating thrilling rides in amusement parks!
