  Not sure, I somehow need to show that the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass with the experiment.
  
  EDIT: So the acceleration is 1.96N / 0.2kg = 9.8 cm/s^2? Though I guess I got it wrong and it's not cm/s^2.

  
  
  wait are you trying to prove that image thing?
  
  and basic units of measurement for distance in physics should be meters. so gravity should be 9.8 m/s^2 lol

  Picture was just to show where the 0.2kg and 1.2kg came from.
  Also, what would be what are the variables?
  I wrote that the...
  Independent variables: Mass
  Dependent variables: Acceleration
  Variable in control: Force
  
  I could have placed them wrong and I could have been missing something :/.

  im not too good with the variables thing lol but as far as i can see, it looks alright for what you have so far. i..dont really think theres any other variables that your suppose to factor in. maybe distance...but i dont think it will count as a variable owo;;;
