PLANNING AIM: The aim of this experiment is to find out about the energy changes in a tethered cart. This includes how the amount a spring is stretched affects the distance the cart attached to it will move up a slope. SAFETY: 1. Wear safety specs at all times, as springs can be very harmful when stretched out of control. 2. Make sure all apparatus is firmly fixed together as the ramp could become a hazard. 3. Normal safety precautions to be kept to at all times. METHOD: Before I start the experiment I intend to find out the elastic constant of the spring. I will do this by working out how much the spring I will use in the experiment stretches when a one Newton weight is attached to it. It is then possible for me to calculate how many Newton's it takes to stretch the spring one meter a, s the amount of Newtons required to...
