This online resource investigates Newton’s second law of motion.

The resource is a student practical activity. Students time how long it takes a dynamics trolley to travel a set distance along a runway under a given force.

The force is then doubled and the time re-measured. Mass is then doubled and the time re-measured.

Teaching notes are included and related experiments are also listed.
