Dynamics Cart and Track System with Go Direct® Sensor Carts

Starts at $569.00

This completely wireless system simplifies experiment setup using position, force, and acceleration sensors built into the carts. Students can easily explore kinematics, dynamics, momentum, and energy with any additional sensors required. The carts’ motions are encoded using an encoded fifth wheel that allows basic experiments to be conducted on or off the track.

A special handling rate from UPS and FedEx applies per track. Learn more here.

The Dynamics Cart and Track System with Go Direct Sensor Carts includes essential laboratory equipment for teaching dynamics and kinematics. Using our Go Direct Sensor Cart, students can explore force, position, velocity, and acceleration directly on their Bluetooth®-enabled device—no wires or additional equipment required. Each cart features built-in sensors to simplify experiment setup and allow experiments to be conducted on or off the track. This system includes an aluminum track (1.2 m or 2.2 m length), two Go Direct Sensor Carts, and all of the necessary accessories to get you started.

Our sensor carts provide added durability, versatility, and instructional value.
• Built in position, force, and 3-axis accelerometer sensors makes set up simple.
• Four mass trays make it easy to vary the total cart mass using included masses.
• Super-elastic trigger button allows for new types of collisions.
• A removable anti-roll peg ensures that the cart rolls on the track but not off the table.
• Interchangeable collision tabs support quick setup for elastic and inelastic collisions.
• Two cart colors (teal and chartreuse) make it easier to discuss collisions.

Optimize your track with the addition of our Vernier Optics Expansion Kit, Color Mixer Kit, and Diffraction Apparatus.
