Compound Dynamics

Load cart with more lead bricks and see acceleration decrease.

Good for acceleration, mass, tension pulleys and and the same for acceleration.

Clamp board in front to prevent cart from running off the edge or into the pulley clamp. Good Sequence: Start with: m1=0.5kg    m2=Cart + 1 Brick Increase m2 m1=0.5kg    m2=Cart + 2 Bricks Increase m1 m1=1.0kg    m2=Cart + 1 Brick
