In this video, we demonstrate how to position the Go Direct® 2-Axis Force Plate for two common investigations:

  • Measure the impulse of a broad jump 
  • Measure the friction forces of a sliding object

The Go Direct 2-Axis Force Plate is an all-in-one solution that combines the Go Direct Force Plate and the Lateral Force Accessory into a single wireless tool. It measures both normal and lateral forces, allowing students to explore more complex force interactions. Evaluate normal force and friction forces, analyze reaction forces of static systems, or investigate the forces involved in the biomechanics of walking, running, and jumping. The Vernier Graphical Analysis® app works on all devices and operating systems commonly found in the classroom.
