Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the Standard Smart Cart PAStrack System.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Conservation of Energy
How does the mechanical energy of a cart change as its motion changes due to gravity? Perform an experiment that explores how a cart's kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and total mechanical energy change as it rolls...
Momentum and Explosions
How is the total momentum of a two-object system affected by an explosion? Experimentally determine if linear momentum is conserved in a system that experiences an explosion.
Average Speed and Velocity
Use a Smart Cart to graph position versus time. Use the data to compare average speed and velocity to instantaneous velocity.
Momentum and Impulse
How is the impulse imparted to an object in a collision related to the change in momentum of the object? Investigate the relationship between the change in momentum of a cart undergoing a collision and the impulse imparted to...
Work and Kinetic Energy
How is the work done on an object by a force related to the change in that object's kinetic energy? Investigate the relationship between the change in kinetic energy of an object experiencing a non-zero net force, and the work...
Conservation of Momentum
How is the momentum and kinetic energy of a two-object system affected by a collision? Experimentally demonstrate that linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in an elastic collision, and that linear momentum is conserved...
