Right click on the box and select “Show Plot.” Change the variable on the Y-axis to “Acceleration (magnitude).” Press play and let run for three seconds, press pause, record the value of the acceleration and reset the simulation. Repeat twice more. After completing three trials, change the mass of the object and record it. Press play and let it run for three seconds, press pause, record the value of the acceleration and reset the simulation. Repeat twice more.
