Newton's Laws of Motion

You may or may not be aware that this report focuses on Newton's Laws of Motion. Specifically, his second law of motion. To properly understand what we are testing, watch the video regarding these laws. Our experiment will use the formula "f=ma". You are required to have a good understanding of this topic.
