Question

Sketch predictions what the force versus time plots for each cart with a mass, without a mass will look like during collision. Sketch the experimental results for the forces for each cart with a mass during collision. Choose suitable scales and units and mark the axes clearly. What do your results tell you about Newton's Third Law? Impulse and Momentum

Answer 1

results tells that according to third law every force has a reaction .

both force are same in magnitude and opposite in direction.

cart1 exerts the same force in cart2 that cart 2 exerts on cart1 .

but opposite directioon.

force on cart1 is +ve and on cart 2 is -ve.
