Part 3: Non-conservative SystemProcedure:→ Continue to use the same MPLI program. Set up the apparatus as shown in figure 3.X 0X 1h 1X 2MotionSensorCart andForce Sensorh oh 2100gmassFigure 3Ensure that the cart is placed 40 cm from the motion sensor (at the start line) and a 100gmass is placed on the end of the string.→Record the mass of the cart (include the mass of the force sensor).m =→Run the experiment to collect data. [Remember to release the cart when the tickingof the motion sensor can be heard.]→ Record the tension in the string by taking the average from the force vs. time graph.F T =→ From the velocity vs. time graph, determine the velocity of the cart at three separatepositions. Record both the position (x) and velocity (v) of the cart in the tableprovided.position-x(m)velocity(m/s)height(m)012- 55 -
