Motion arrangement, mass-loading setup, force application system, support base
Working principle
Acceleration directly proportional to applied force, inversely proportional to mass
Students apply a force through the model, then change the load or the force and compare the resulting motion, linking what they see to the relation between force, mass and acceleration. This Physics Miscellaneous Products item is worked by hand on a stable, level bench.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What can be varied on the Newton’s 2nd Law Model? The mass and the applied force can be changed as needed so that the resulting motion can be compared.
