Force Vs. Mass Graph

Force Vs. Mass

Data Analysis:
 VM:As the mass increases, the force increases linearly.
MM:Force=(9.8985Newtons/Kg)Mass - 0.0171 Newtons
Slope: For every 9.8985 Newtons, the mass increases 1 Kg
Y-Int: When the mass is 0 Kg, the Newtons is -0.0171 the force is -0.0171 N - and is it really?  Does that make sense?

 Claims/Evidence: 
Mass is different than weight because mass is the amount of matter the thing has, mass will not change wherever you are,  in space, on the moon, etc, but the weight changes because it is how much gravity is pulling, and gravity is different on other planets and in space than the Earth's gravity. Gravity is also the same around the world and no place has more gravity than other places. There is also the same force of gravity for everything regardless of mass.No  - force of gravity is dependent on mass - see graph.  The field strength is the same We tested this out in class when we dropped the ball and the textbook and they fell at the same time and hit the table at the same time. There is also air resistance, but the gravity is still the same.the force/mass ratio is the same

Conclusion:
 I conclude that gravity has the same force all over the world. When i compared graphs with my peers who also performed the same experiment, we all  had very similar graphs. This happened because the force of gravity is the same on all parts of Earth. We found the equation Fg=MG. Fg is the force of gravity(weight), M is the mass, and G is the gravitational field strength force. This equation could work to find any
 weight by plugging the necessary elements in.
yes but just be careful on wording - force of gravity is weight, and of course everything does not weigh the same...
