Vernier™ Go Direct™ Sensor Cart Yellow

Description

• Accelerometer range: ±160 m/s 2 Full-featured dynamics cart includes: Encoder wheel to report position 3-axis accelerometer to measure independent acceleration ±50 N force sensor to measure push and pulls Mass trays for changing total mass Plunger for collision and impulse studies Low friction wheels for uniform motion Exchangeable magnetic and hook-and-pile inserts for elastic and inelastic collisions Collect position, velocity, and acceleration data as a cart rolls freely up and down an incline
• Observe collisions between two carts, test for the conservation of momentum, or measure energy changes during different types of collisions
• Investigate the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration
• Examine the energies involved in simple harmonic motion
• Measure a cart's momentum change and compare it to the impulse it receives
• 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 investigations to be conducted on or off the track
• Can be used for hands-on kinematics and dynamics demonstrations but can also be used as an individual sensor
• Hang a mass and spring from the force sensor to study simple harmonic motion, or attach the cart to a turntable to study centripetal acceleration.
