-
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
-
is not added to zero velocity,
-
but to this large velocity it has at that instant.
-
And the tiny increment in velocity if added this way
-
will produce a velocity in that direction,
-
and what that really means if you wait a small amount of time,
-
this thing is going along the new velocity direction.
-
So, that's the difference between--
-
So the acceleration is the same for a falling apple
-
as for the loop-the-loop cart.
