Description

In this lab, you can investigate the motion of a cart on a track. The cart is connected to a mass that hangs over a pulley. Motion with constant acceleration occurs in everyday life whenever an object is dropped: the object moves downward with the constant acceleration.

You can change the mass of the object in the slider and check the time taken for the object to drop on the scale. 

How does the mass of the object affect the time?

No activity associated with the demonstration. Would be more helpful if there were a task, such as using the gravitational constant to predict position over time on a graph and then use the simulation to check your graph, etc.
