In a lab, a student investigates Newton’s Second Law by pulling a cart of known mass with varying forces and measuring the resulting acceleration. The cart’s mass is measured as 0.500 kg. The student collects the following data: Applied Force (N) Measured Acceleration (m/s2) 1.00 2.05 2.00 3.95 3.00 6.00 4.00 7.90 Using Newton’s Second Law, calculate the theoretical acceleration of the cart for each applied force. Compare the measured accelerations with the theoretical accelerations by finding the percent error for each data point. Determine the average percent error across all four trials. Based on this result, evaluate whether the data supports Newton’s Second Law. Suppose the experiment was repeated on a track with noticeable friction. Explain how this would affect the slope if the student plotted force vs. acceleration and fit a straight line to the plot.

The parents of a 3 year old child are concerned that the child has begun refusing usual foods and wants to eat mashed potatoes and chicken strips at every meal and snack. The child’s rate of weight has slowed, but the child remains at the same percentile for weight on a growth chart. What will the primary care pediatric nurse practitioner tell the parents to do?
