Newton’s Second Law How does a cart change its motion when you push and pull on it? You might think that the harder you push on a cart‚ the faster it goes. Is the cart’s velocity related to the force you apply? Or does the force just change the velocity? Also‚ what does the mass of the cart have to do with how the motion changes? We know that it takes a much harder push to get a heavy cart moving than a lighter one. A Force Sensor and an Accelerometer will let you measure the force on a cart

Many people believe that Isaac Newton left the biggest impact on the history of science. He is most known for developing the laws of gravity and his work in formulating Calculus with Gottfried Leibniz . Calculus is taught in schools all around the world today so are his laws of gravity‚ These notions were published along with many others in Isaac’s “Principia Mathematica” publishing this book went on to prove Kepler’s heliocentric view of the solar system. Many systems of mathematics in the book
