Skateboarding with Newton

Refer to today's lab to answer the following questions:

1.)  Describe the motion of the skateboarder in motion when a force of 0 lbs on the scale was applied.

2.)  Describe the motion of the skateboarder in motion when a constant force of 15 lbs on the scale was applied.

3.)  The following equation summarizes Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: a=F/m.  Where a is equal to acceleration, F is equal to the net Force and m is equal to mass.

Use this equation to explain your observations from #1 and #2 above.
