Setup Example for Work-Energy Theorem (Conservation of Energy)

The equipment and items for experiment

Precision track; a collision cart; two photo gates; smart pulley; hooked mass set; friction pad; bar weights

This set up is Atwood's machine.
Setup Example for Work-Energy Theorem (Conservation of Energy)

This picture shows that where to put the friction pad. Note: The friction pad should be appropriately bent so it works as reducing speed of the cart.
