The suspended mass plays a crucial role in the movement of the cart. It provides the necessary force to move the cart forward and also helps maintain balance and stability.
The materials needed to build a cart that moves from suspended mass include a sturdy frame, wheels, axles, a suspended mass (such as a weight or a motor), and a mechanism to transfer energy from the suspended mass to the wheels.
The weight of the suspended mass will vary depending on the size and weight of the cart. It is important to have a suspended mass that is heavy enough to provide sufficient force to move the cart, but not too heavy that it causes the cart to become unstable.
Yes, the suspended mass can be replaced with other energy sources such as a motor, a compressed spring, or a compressed gas. The important factor is that the energy source should be able to transfer energy to the wheels to move the cart.
Yes, safety should always be a top priority when building any type of vehicle. It is important to ensure that the suspended mass is securely attached to the cart and that all moving parts are properly guarded. It is also recommended to have an emergency stop mechanism in case the cart becomes uncontrollable.
