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

Recommended Methods for Determining Soil Cation Exchange Capacity Donald S. Ross and Quirine Ketterings The cation exchange capacity (CEC) of a soil is a measure of the quantity of negatively charged sites on soil surfaces that can retain positively charged ions (cations) such as calcium (Ca2+)‚ magnesium (Mg2+)‚ and potassium (K+)‚ by electrostatic forces. Cations retained electrostatically are easily exchangeable with cations in the soil solution so a soil with a higher CEC has a greater capacity
