Dynamic Cart Accelerated by Falling Mass

Return to Newton's Laws

Description:

A pulley is mounted at the end of one of the Dynamic Cart Tracks. A string is attached to a Dynamic Cart and then placed on the pulley and attached attached to a small mass at the other end of the spring. Gather data and plot Kinematic Graphs to analyze the motion. The string can also be attached to a force probe on the cart to see what happens to the applied force once the cart starts to accelerate. measurments can be made to compare theoretical values to measured values.
