Description:

A dynamic cart has a fan attached to it. The fan provides a force which accelerates the cart. Mass can be added which causes the cart's acceleration to be decreased. Force can be changed by a two speed switch for the fan. Can be demonstrated qualitatively or a computer with a motion detector or photogates can be used for quantitative analysis.
