Hi, I am doing an acceleration/force lab, and I am having difficulty finding the theoretical acceleration.
In my lab it states:
The acceleration is the ratio of the net force divided by the total mass?
ath= (m-hanger*g-f) / m-cart+ m-hanger)
My values are:
M hanger= .00567 kg or 5.67 grams
M cart = .103 kg or 103 grams
Net force = .362
When I input the data into the equation I get:-2.82 kg m/s ^2, which first of all I have no clue how to get rid of the "kg" ( I know kg m/s ^2 = 1 N) , and secondly I know this is wrong ,because my actual value not theoretical came out to .332 m/s ^2.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
I have the complete document if you would like to take a look
