Demonstrating Newton's Second Law.
Fricker, H. S.
Physics Education, v29 n6 p386-90 Nov 1994
Describes an apparatus for demonstrating the second law of motion. Provides sample data and discusses the merits of this method over traditional methods of supplying a constant force. The method produces empirical best-fit lines which convincingly demonstrate that for a fixed mass, acceleration is proportional to force. (DDR)
