Analyzing Exploding Carts - Lab Activity Objectives We will study the relationship of force and the duration of the collision. In doing so we will observe the max force experienced by an accelerating cart when it impacts another cart with a spring. A stiff spring will be used. We will collect the information through two items. We will use distance and time as information collectors. This will measure the acceleration‚ velocity‚ and position of the cart as it moves down the track. The most

At large scale the water footprint arguably cannot be reduced‚ raising the question on whether our water is being used to its full potential. Water
