1 Newton’s Second Law of Motion Ryan Eagan * , Sean Morton † and Collin Murphy ‡‡ Penn State Worthington Scranton, 120 Ridge View Drive, Dunmore, PA USA February 19, 2010 Abstract We analyzed the motion of two objects in a frictionless environment that are connected by a string. By recording changes in the motion as the tension of the string acts on each object we use our results to visualize the relationship between force, mass and acceleration as stated by Newton’s Second Law of Motion. * Electronic address: ree5047@psu.edu ゆ Electronic address: som5209@psu.edu ょ Electronic address: cjm5515@psu.edu
