Description:

A mass suspended over a pulley accelerates an air track cart. Can be demonstrated qualitatively or a computer with a motion detector or photogates can be used for quantitative analysis. Dynamic carts can also be substituted for the air track. Quieter demonstration but there is a little friction.
