Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

### Experiment Description

**Objective:**
To measure the velocities of two carts after a collision using bumpers, thus preventing them from sticking together. Velocity measurements are taken with a photogate for the second cart, initially at rest.

**Setup:**
- **Components:**
- Cart 1 (mass: 500.1 g)
- Cart 2 (mass: 510 g)
- Motion detector
- Bumpers
- Track
- Photogate

**Procedure:**
- Cart 1 is set in motion and its velocity before and after collision is recorded.
- Cart 2 remains stationary before the collision; its velocity is measured post-collision using a photogate.

### Measurements

- **Mass of Cart 1:** 500.1 g
- **Mass of Cart 2:** 510 g

- **Measured velocity of Cart 1 before collision:** 0.353 m/s
- **Measured velocity of Cart 1 after collision:** -0.018 m/s (indicating a change in direction)

- **Measured velocity of Cart 2 after collision (from photogate):** 0.226 m/s
- **Expected velocity of Cart 2 after collision (based on conservation of momentum):** (calculation area is blank and needs to be filled)

### Calculations (Not Provided)

- **Percent difference between measured and expected final velocities of Cart 2:** (calculation area is blank and needs to be filled)

- **Measured total kinetic energy before the collision:** (calculation area is blank and needs to be filled)

- **Measured total kinetic energy after the collision:** (calculation area is blank and needs to be filled)

### Diagram Explanation

- The diagram shows a motion detector on the left, which is used to track the movement of Cart 1 on the track.
- Cart 1 and Cart 2 are positioned on a track with bumpers between them. The bumpers ensure that the carts do not stick together upon collision.
- After the collision, the velocity of Cart 2 is measured using a photogate positioned at the right end of the track.

This setup visually conveys how the experiment measures velocities of carts post-collision, allowing for the analysis of momentum conservation and kinetic energy changes.
