1G 10.10 - Measuring Force:
Demonstrates: Force is needed to create an acceleration. Description: An air car with added mass is pulled with a spring scale. |
| 1G 10.20 - Measuring Force with Falling Mass:
Demonstrates: Acceleration. Description: An air car is caused to accelerate by a hanging mass and pulley system. |
|
| 1G 10.30 - Weight of Mass:
Demonstrates: Force of gravity on a mass. Description: Mass hanging from a spring scale. |
|
| 1G 10.31 - Mass with Two Springs:
Demonstrates: Complex system of force, mass and scale. Description: A mass is suspended from a force scale and then another scale is put underneath and gradually raised to lift the mass. |
