Acceleration by Friction
written by Shabtai Shpigler
In this video, a short sled is placed on top of a long sled on a horizontal track. The long sled is accelerated by a hanging weight, and the short sled also accelerates due to the friction between the sleds. The motion of the short sled is analyzed by Tracker in two coordinate systems: (a) origin attached to the track, and (b) origin attached to the long sled.
