Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion state the following:
I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. This is also known as the Law of Inertia. Also, for this lab, the unbalanced force is gravity.
II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. This law explains how velocities change once there are external forces as factors.

Force Equation Explained and Solved
With the given equation F = ma, we can utilize this information for the cart and ramp lab by plugging in previously known values.
Mass = 0.59965 kilograms (kg), and this is 0.6, rounded.
Acceleration = 33.3 cm/s².
Thus, we arrive at the obvious conclusion that the Force = 19.968345 Newtons (N), or if you prefer using estimated values, we get 20.
