Newton's Second Law Lab

This lab video explores the application of Newton's Second Law to the 1-dimensional motion of a cart. Velocity and force measurements are performed with a Pasco Smart Cart and data collection with SPARKvue.
This video is part of a video series on General Physics I Labs at Eastern Nazarene College.

"Force does not exist physically in the same way that an object with mass does. This means that force cannot make surface contact with an object, much less push or pull it. The initial cause of all bodies in motion originates from the applied energy (E), which creates the momentum (p) necessary to make surface contact with an object, thereby enabling it to push and pull. This concept is mathematically expressed as Ep or the equation Ep = ma. Force was originally used as a placeholder by Sir Isaac Newton because he did not know the true nature of this Force." ~Professor Guadalupe Guerra from Laredo, Texas c/s

Thank you, professor, for spreading knowledge. We appreciate this
