High School • Middle School / Physical Science
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 will compare force measurements to better understand Newton's Third Law of...
Advanced Placement / Physics
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 net force and the work done by that net force on the object, and then use...
Advanced Placement / Physics
Students use a Smart Cart to determine the static and kinetic friction coefficients between two contacting surfaces.
High School / STEM
In this activity, students will use motion and force sensors to analyze the relationships between force, mass, and acceleration.
Advanced Placement / Physics
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 momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved in an inelastic...
