📅 NSB 2021🎓 HS🔄 Round 6#️⃣ Q5❓ TOSS-UP📝 Multiple Choice

Gabby has a device capable of pushing objects with an unknown amount of constant force. To determine the magnitude of this force, she makes several measurements by using the device to apply force to objects of varying mass and measuring the resultant acceleration. Which parameters should she choose for her x- and y-axes, respectively, such that the slope of the line of best fit is the force her device applies?

W) Mass and acceleration
X) One over mass and acceleration
Y) Mass and one over acceleration
Z) One over mass and one over acceleration
