DTS End Stop<\/a> (DTS-END<\/nobr>)<\/p>\n

The DTS End Stop is a versatile component of the Dynamics Cart and Track System. With a removable center tab and magnet tabs, students can easily set it up to catch carts in half-Atwood setups when studying Newton\u2019s second law. Attach a spring to the DTS End Stop and a cart to model simple harmonic motion on an inclined track. The DTS End Stop includes pockets for holding unused tabs.<\/p>\n

How do I set up the End Stop in a half-Atwoods setup?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install End Stop about 10 cm from end of track.<\/li>\n
  2. Install Pulley Bracket and Pulley at end of track.<\/li>\n
  3. Remove center tab from End Stop.<\/li>\n
  4. With center tab removed, string from cart\/force sensor can be fed through End Stop and over pulley. Adjust height of pulley such that the string leaves the cart\/force sensor horiztonally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n
    1. Install End Stop at end of track.<\/li>\n
    2. Thread hook into center tab. If using a DTS cart, “DTS” threaded hole should be in the lower position. Likewise, use the “GDX” threaded hole if using a Sensor Cart.<\/li>\n
    3. Raise track to desired incline.<\/li>\n
    4. Connect cart and End Stop with spring.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
