2 dynamics carts, one with a motion detector attached with rubber bands. This is for lab 6

For Lab 7, students could do anything with the motion detector to match certain position/time, and velocity/time graphs.  These students are matching a graph for a velocity graph that is steadily increasining in a linear way.  They are dropping a notebook below the motion detector.
