Cart Spring Loaded
Product Code : JL-LEP-10145
The Cart Spring Loaded (SKU JL-LEP-10145) is a dynamics cart with a built-in spring that provides the action force in Newton's third law of motion experiment. The spring loaded cart is set nose to nose with a second cart; when its push rod is struck and the spring is released, the carts push apart, and students compare how each one moves to see that action and reaction act on different bodies. JaincoLab manufactures it in India for school physics mechanics practicals.
Specifications
The spring loaded cart is a dynamics cart fitted with a spring and a push-rod release, used as the source of the action force in Newton's third law of motion experiment; it is listed under SKU JL-LEP-10145 and works with the cart with counterweight, which provides the matching reaction force.

Applications of the spring loaded cart
In the physics laboratory the cart is used for interaction experiments in which two carts push against each other, so that students can observe the paired forces and compare the motion that each cart receives. Typical school practicals are:
- Demonstrating Newton's third law with a released spring between two carts
- Comparing the distances two carts travel after they are pushed apart
- Discussing action and reaction as equal forces acting on different bodies
- Introducing momentum in an explosion-type interaction between carts on a rail
Scope of supply and ordering
The listing covers one spring loaded dynamics cart as described in the specification table. The cart with counterweight, the plastic hammer, rails and storage cases are separate catalogue items; accessories, spares and quantities are confirmed on the quotation.
MOQ, lead time and packing for the spring loaded cart are fixed on each quotation according to the number of carts and the delivery destination. JaincoLab supplies single laboratories, multi-school orders and education projects, including export consignments to Africa, the Middle East and South and South-East Asia.
Frequently asked questions
What is the spring loaded cart used for?
It provides the action force in Newton's third law of motion experiment when its spring is released against a second cart.
How is the spring released?
The spring is released by striking the push rod, for which the plastic hammer in the same range is used.
Which cart is it used with?
It is paired with the cart with counterweight, which provides the reaction force in the same experiment.
