Cart with Counterweight
Product Code : JL-LEP-10146
The Cart with Counterweight (SKU JL-LEP-10146) is the second cart of the Newton's third law of motion experiment: it takes the push from the spring loaded cart and acts as the source of the reaction force. Used as a cart with counterweight, it lets students watch both carts move apart when the spring is released and discuss why the forces are equal and opposite. JaincoLab manufactures it in India for school physics laboratories and mechanics practical kits.
Specifications
The cart with counterweight is a dynamics cart carrying a counterweight, used as the source of the reaction force in Newton's third law of motion experiment; it is listed under SKU JL-LEP-10146 and is designed to be used against the spring loaded cart, which provides the action force.

Applications of the cart with counterweight
The cart with counterweight is used in interaction experiments where two carts push against each other, so that the reaction force can be seen acting on a separate body and the resulting motion compared. Typical practical uses are:
- Demonstrating the reaction force in Newton's third law of motion experiment
- Observing two carts moving apart after the spring of the paired cart is released
- Comparing the motion of the two carts after the interaction
- Supporting discussion of momentum in cart interactions on a rail

Frequently asked questions
What does the cart with counterweight do?
It acts as the source of the reaction force in Newton's third law of motion experiment.
Which cart is it used against?
It is used against the spring loaded cart, whose released spring provides the action force.
Can the two carts be ordered together?
Yes. The spring loaded cart and the cart with counterweight are separate items and can be quoted together as a pair.
