To see how acceleration is related to force, the total mass of the system is kept constant while force is increased. The glider is initially loaded with 0.30 kg additional mass. In each subsequent trial, 0.05 kg mass is transferred from the glider to the hanging mass.

Q7 Make a prediction: As mass is transferred from the glider to the hanging mass, will the acceleration of the glider increase, decrease, or remain constant?

Set up to test your prediction using a simulation:

Navigate to https://iwant2study.org/lookangejss/02_newtonianmechanics_3dynamics/ejss_model_AtwoodMachine2wee/AtwoodMachine2wee_Simulation.xhtml

Change the additional mass to the glider to be 0.30 kg and the mass of the hanging mass to be 0.10 kg. There should be no static or kinetic friction. These are the parameters for Case 1.

Once you have the parameters set for Case 1, your screen should like this:
