MTM Initial Challenge

Purpose: Find the relationship between the masses and velocities of the carts.
Each cart weighs 500g and each bar weighs 500g
Materials

• bar
• 2 carts
• calculator
• a clicker to separate the carts

Part A
1:1 40:40
1:2 54:26
1:3 60:20
1:4 65:15
2:3 48:32

Part B
1:1
.5:2.07
.33:3
.25:4.3
.66:1.5

We noticed that as the mass increases in one cart, the velocity on the other cart would move twice as slow, three times as slow, and then 4x as slow. The mass and velocity are directly, inversely proportional.
