Force vs. Acceleration

Asked Sep 20, 2007, 04:52 PM — 3 Answers
How am I going to write an equation of the line about force and acceleration?

What formula should I use to fine the slope of an graph? What will be my unit of the slope?


What physical quantity does the slope represent?

If you have a graph of acceleration vs. Force, then the slope will naturally be acceleration/force, or the amount that acceleration increases for a unit increase in force.

Now see if you can answer the rest of your questions.
