Add a Friction Pad DTS to your Vernier Go Direct Sensor Cart, Standard Cart, Plunger Cart, or Motion Encoder Cart, and watch the carts move under very consistent friction force. Setting the friction amount is as simple as turning a knob.
The Dynamics Cart and Track System provides students with the tools they need to explore kinematics, dynamics, momentum, and energy. This versatile system can also be easily adapted to study optics, color, and diffraction.
The Dynamics and Track System is ideal for studying Newton's second law, acceleration on an inclined plane, conservation of momentum, and much more. This traditional cart and track system features an aluminum track, two low-friction, plastic carts, an ultra pulley, and all of the necessary attachment accessories. Easily attach sensors (sold separately) to carts or to the track for data collection, like a Motion Detector, Dual-Range Force Sensor, Wireless Dynamics Sensor System, Photogate, or an Accelerometer. Add the Vernier Optics Expansion Kit (OEK) and use the track as an optics bench.
The Dynamics Cart and Track Sytem includes:
Combination 1.2 m Track/Optics Bench
Standard Cart with magnetic and hook-and-pile end caps
Plunger Cart with magnetic and hook-and-pile end caps
4 hexagonal masses, 125 g each
Mounting hardware for Dual-Range Force Sensor and accelerometers

2 Adjustable Two-Foot Levelers
Motion Detector Bracket
Motion Detector Reflector Flag
Rod Clamp
2 Photogate Brackets

User manual
The long-track version includes the same carts and accessories as the Dynamics Cart and Track System but substitutes a 2.2m Track for the 1.2m Track.
Shipping costs standard version:
The standard version 1.2m is sent as PostPac Economy bulky goods. The total shipping costs are CHF 31.00.
Shipping costs long version:
The long track version 2.2m is shipped by freight forwarding. The costs for shipping amount to a total of CHF 74.00.
The Go Direct Sensor Cart features built-in, wireless sensors for one-dimensional dynamics and kinematics experiments. It directly connects wirelessly via Bluetooth® wireless technology to your platform.
Description
With 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 investigations to be conducted on or off the track.
Go Direct Sensor Cart 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.
Each 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
After working hard to make our dynamics carts very low friction, we’ve now added some friction back, so that you and your students can study friction in a controlled way.
User Manual - PAD-VDS
The Dynamics Cart and Track System Fasteners for Force Sensor and Accelerometer consists of one large thumbscrew and two small thumbscrews. The large thumbscrew is used to attach a Vernier Force Sensor to a DTS cart. Likewise, the two small thumbscrews are used to attach a Vernier Accelerometer to a DTS cart.
