Get all the equipment you need to teach dynamics and kinematics using our Dynamics Cart and Track System with the Go Direct Sensor Cart. This wireless system simplifies experiment setup and allows basic physics experiments to be conducted with or without the track.
The Go Direct Sensor Cart features built-in, wireless sensors for one-dimensional dynamics and kinematics experiments. It directly connects to your platform via Bluetooth® wireless technology and gives students a great way to explore force, position, velocity, and acceleration.
The Go Direct Sensor Cart can be used for hands-on kinematics and dynamics demonstrations—but it can also be used as an individual sensor. For example, you can hang a mass and spring from the force sensor to study simple harmonic motion, or you can attach the cart to a wooden block to explore static and kinetic friction.
The Dynamics Cart and Track System with the Go Direct Sensor Cart can be used in many experiments from a variety of our lab manuals. For example, experiments can be found in Physics Explorations and Projects, Physics with Vernier, and the lab book Sensor Cart Physics by Roger Larson.
Potential experiment topics include measuring cart acceleration, Newton’s second and third laws, measuring cart acceleration with friction, momentum and impulse, conservation of energy, and conservation of momentum.
