Showing 55 experiments that use the Smart Cart (Red).
Acceleration on an Inclined Plane
What is the acceleration of an object down an inclined plane? What do the motion graphs of an object down an inclined plane look like? Galileo Galilei...
Crash Barrier
Construct a crash barrier designed to minimize the impact force experienced by a cart in a collision.
Conservation of Momentum
The law of conservation of momentum is a powerful generalization of Newton’s third law. For an isolated system, the total momentum of all the objects...
Inelastic Collisions
In this investigation you will explore how the total kinetic energy and momentum of a closed system involving two carts is affected by a perfectly inelastic...
Elastic Collisions
How can we predict the outcome of an elastic collision? A collision between two carts is nearly elastic, but not completely. In this experiment, you will...
