Imagine a horse pulling a cart. What would happen to the speed of the cart if several bags of cement were added to the cart? The speed of the cart would be slow/decrease2. Suppose several more horses were hitched up to the same cart. How would this affect the speed of the cart? The speed would increase Although these questions may seem simple, they form the basis of Newtons second law of motion. The Fan Cart Physics Gizmo can be used to illustrate all three of Newtons laws. Gizmo Warm-upThe Fan Cart Physics Gizmo shows a common teaching tool called a fan cart. Place fan A on the cart and turn it on by clicking the ON/OFF button below. 1. Look at the blue lines coming from the fan. In which direction is the air pushed? The air is pushed towards the left (negative).2. Press Play ( ) and observe
