The cart is fitted with a unique suspension system that should protect the cart from damage by

dropping or over burdening, but care should be taken to prevent this.


• When using the track use the end stops to prevent the carts from leaving the track.

• Only use low angles of track incline (less than 15 cm of elevation). The system will perform

   significantly better than traditional dynamics apparatus.

• After storage use a soft brush to remove debris from the track grooves.

• Do not install the magnetic bumper unless you know you will be using them in the practical work.

• Magnetic repulsion is only for low-speed collisions with other carts whilst using the Dynamics

System magnetic end stops. If the speed is high the repulsion will bounce the carts off the track.


When setting up

• Always check the Handedness of the fixtures.

• Insert the captive bolts required for the light gate brackets first.

• Insert the support / feet second and move down the track by at least the width of the support.

• Insert the end stops last.

• Do not over tighten the securing bolts, you could potentially damage the track.


Both carts provide a spring-loaded plunger

• The plunger provides three different forces to move the cart. Each notch is 1x more than the

previous.

• As you push the plunger in it will click at each position, a final click position is provided to hold the

plunger level with the cart’s exterior.

• To activate the plunger, tap on the pin on the top of the cart.

The carts and the masses both have a nominal mass of 280g (weigh before use).

For expert work on momentum, collisions, F=ma the mass of the carts and masses should be

accurately obtained.
