Showing 7 experiments that use the Cart Mass (Set of 2).

Middle School / Physical Science

Newton's Third Law

In this lab, students will investigate how two Smart Carts exert forces on each other in different scenarios. Using force sensors on each cart, students...

Middle School / Physical Science

Forces and Motion

In this lab, students explore the relationship between force, mass, and motion using a Smart Cart on an aluminum dynamics track. The objective is to investigate...

Advanced Placement / Physics

Conservation of Momentum

Students use two Smart Carts and a dynamics system to demonstrate that linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in an elastic collision, and linear...

Advanced Placement / Physics

Work and Kinetic Energy

Students use a Smart Cart and dynamics system to investigate the relationship between the change in kinetic energy of an object experiencing a non-zero...

Advanced Placement / Physics

Coefficients of Friction

Students use a Smart Cart to determine the static and kinetic friction coefficients between two contacting surfaces.

High School / STEM

Force

In this activity, students will use motion and force sensors to analyze the relationships between force, mass, and acceleration.
