Dynamic Cart Set
Model Number: MTM-70
The Dynamic Cart Set from Micro Technologies is designed for mechanics experiments involving velocity, acceleration, momentum, force, inertia and collisions. The set includes two plastic carts with deep wells for additional masses, allowing the total cart mass to be varied. Each cart measures approximately 13 × 5 × 3.5 cm and has a mass of approximately 70 g.
Product Specification
The Dynamic Cart Set from Micro Technologies is a versatile mechanics laboratory set developed for practical experiments involving linear motion, velocity, acceleration, force, inertia, momentum and collisions.
The set consists of two plastic dynamics carts designed to move along a suitable smooth laboratory surface or dynamics track.
Each cart incorporates a deep well for holding additional masses. This allows students to change the total mass of a cart and investigate how mass influences its motion under different experimental conditions.
This feature makes the Dynamic Cart Set particularly useful for studying Newton’s Second Law of Motion, represented by:
F = ma
where:
F = Net Force
m = Mass
a = Acceleration
By adding masses to the cart while maintaining a similar applied force, students can observe how an increase in mass affects acceleration.
Alternatively, the applied force can be changed while the cart mass remains constant, enabling investigation of the relationship between force and acceleration.
The carts are also suitable for demonstrating inertia, the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
Because the set contains two carts, it is particularly useful for performing collision experiments.
Students can arrange the carts for head-on or suitable linear collisions and observe their motion before and after impact.
Momentum can be calculated using:
p = mv
where:
p = Momentum
m = Mass of Cart
v = Velocity
For an approximately isolated two-cart system, students can investigate the principle of conservation of linear momentum:
Total Momentum Before Collision = Total Momentum After Collision
The carts can support demonstrations of both elastic and inelastic collision concepts, depending on the collision arrangement and accessories used.
In elastic-collision investigations, students can discuss the behavior of momentum and kinetic energy before and after impact.
For inelastic-collision demonstrations, students can observe situations in which interacting carts move together or exhibit reduced relative motion after collision, depending on the experimental configuration.
The ability to add masses to either cart provides further experimental possibilities.
For example, students can compare collisions between carts of approximately equal mass with collisions involving unequal masses.
This helps illustrate how mass distribution affects post-collision velocity and momentum transfer.
The carts can also be used for experiments involving velocity and acceleration when combined with suitable timing or motion-measurement equipment.
Each cart measures approximately 13 × 5 × 3.5 cm and has a mass of approximately 70 g.
Their compact plastic construction makes the set convenient for repeated laboratory experiments and storage.
The Dynamic Cart Set provides a flexible experimental platform that can be integrated with other mechanics accessories such as masses, inclined planes, pulleys, cords and timing equipment where required.
Instructions are supplied to support laboratory setup and experimentation.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Dynamic Cart Set is suitable for physics and mechanics laboratories requiring a compact solution for motion, force and collision investigations.
