What does your textbook say about Newton’s second law?
Open the browser and type “olabs.edu.in” in the address bar. Click physics tab and then click “Newton’s second ” under class section. Go to “simulator” tab to do the experiment. Select the desired Cart mass (M ) and vertical mass (M ) using respective slider. Also select the desired distance (s) by moving the slider. Click on the “Start” button to start the experiment. Observe the time and note it down. Calculate acceleration (a) of the cart using the formula a = 2s/t . Find the fore due to rate of change of momentum using (M +M ) a. Calculate force F = M g. You will observe (M +M )a = M g . Hence Newton’s Second Law is verified. Repeat the experiment with different masses.
