Newton's second law: what decides how quickly a cart speeds up?

Physics · Years 9–12 · Full version

Open its page: Newton’s second law
A cart on a level track is joined by a string over a pulley to a hanger of slotted masses. Hanging mass 0.05 kg, cart 0.95 kg, friction limit 0.00 N. The string pulls the cart forward with 0.47 N and pulls the hanger up just as hard, less than the hanger's weight of 0.49 N, so the hanger is sped up too. Along the string the net force is 0.49 N on 1.00 kg, so the acceleration is 0.49 m/s². At 0.00 s the cart has moved 0.00 m and its velocity is 0.00 m/s.

The live model could not start here. Its page shows every step as a picture.
