The Newton Fan may be used in conjunction with most dynamic carts or trolleys to not only verify Newton's Second Law (that the net force acting on a body is directly proportional to the mass of the body multiplied by its acceleration), but to also confirm that the law still applies when the mass or the propulsion force of the cart is varied.

Forces and vectors may now be demonstrated in a dynamic way that was not possible with previous models (such as with pulley and weight systems) as it may now be observed that the mass of the system is all in the one place and that it is just the fan that provides the propulsion force. Demonstrate how forces may be resolved into their individual components and investigate the cart's performance as the angle of the fan, the mass of the cart and the propulsion force is varied.

Convert your dynamics cart (MF0945001 cart) quickly and easily into a fan cart. The Newton Fan will sit on a dynamic cart with a flat surface of at least 12cm long and 6cm wide.  Investigate acceleration versus fan angle.

Sit the Newton's fan on your cart and watch it race off.  Demonstrate how forces can be resolved into their vector components.

Confirm Newton's second law, F=ma.

Fan diameter 16cm. Base size 8 x 11.5 x 4.3cm. Requires four AA batteries (not included). Instructions included.
