and the difference between this one accelerating,
-
let us say, I go to the loop-the-loop and I drop an apple,
-
forget the track it's got m · g acting,
-
it's accelerating too.
-
What's the difference between these two?
-
Here, we start with zero velocity; you accelerate downwards.
-
That means you pick up a downward velocity.
-
As it accelerates you keep
-
falling down and picking up more and more speed.
-
The same acceleration's experienced by the cart also,
-
and a little more because T is also pushing down.
-
But there the change in velocity over a tiny amount of time
