In the Force vs. Mass lab, we measured the different amounts of force caused by different weights. The force was measure in Newtons while the mass was in grams and kilograms. In the picture, the force (dependent variable) is on the y-axis, while the mass (independent variable) is on the x-axis. As my group calculated the line graph with the information we had, we noticed a consistent upward trend, as the mass increases, the force increases. For example, the heavier an object, the more force is required to push the object. We plugged in our calculations to find the slope of the experiment, using the equation "y=mx+b." After doing the work, we concluded that Force is equal to 10x the amount of mass. In the equation, 1 kg = 10 newtons.
