1N20.10 Seesaw Carts

Two carts repel each other on a teeter-totter. Mass of cars can be varied.

A 1.2-m aluminum track is balanced on a small 2" x 4" block, creating a classic see-saw. Two carts rest nose-to-nose on the track. Their noses are positioned directly over the pivot and the track is horizontal. Mass blocks designed to fit on the carts appear in the frame.
