Fan Cart Introduction Introduction The PASCO Fan Cart produces Low, Medium, High or Variable Thrust either continuously or for selectable time intervals of 1, 2, 4, or 6 seconds. The direction of thrust can be adjusted from zero to 180 degrees to demonstrate the vector nature of force.
Model No.ME-6977 Introduction Operation The control section of the Fan Cart has eleven light-emitting diodes (LEDs), a VARIABLE THRUST knob, and three selector switches: THRUST, PULSE TIME, and FAN ON, STANDBY. The CHARGING LED flashes when the battery needs to be recharged and stays lit while the Fan Cart is charging.
Fan Cart D e m o n s t r a t i o n s a n d E x p e r i m e n ts Press the PULSE TIME selector switch once again to return to the default setting (continuous blowing). No LEDs in the PULSE TIME section will be lit. Once you have set the PULSE TIME setting, press the FAN ON, STANDBY selector switch. The green LED next to STANDBY will blink three times, and then the fan will turn on and run for the selected amount of time.

Attach the Sail so that its flat side faces the fan. Air Flow Equal Force Force 5. Set the THRUST to VARIABLE, turn on the fan, and turn the VARIABLE THRUST knob fully clockwise. Then, adjust the VARIABLE THRUST knob so that the fan remains motionless. Turn the fan off after a short period of time. 6.
Fan Cart Specificatio ns Experiment #2: Determine the force of the Fan Cart by connecting the cart to a mass that hangs over a pulley. Adjust the hanging mass until the cart doesn’t move. Air Flow Pulley Hanging Mass Next, turn the fan at an angle and determine the component of the force. Determine whether the force component in the direction of motion is F cos . (This experiment must be performed on a PASCO track so the cart will go in a straight line.
