* Newton's Third Law: by strapping force sensors atop each car and having them collide with each other, the Loggerpro graphs will show that even carts with different initial velocities and different masses exert the exact same equal and opposite force. | * Newton's Third Law: by strapping force sensors atop each car and having them collide with each other, the Loggerpro graphs will show that even carts with different initial velocities and different masses exert the exact same equal and opposite force. | ||
* Diluted Gravity: one end of the track is slightly inclined and a position sensor is placed at one end. The cart is released from rest and given the length of the track and the incline the acceleration due to gravity for the cart can be calculated. | * Diluted Gravity: one end of the track is slightly inclined and a position sensor is placed at one end.
