Accessory Items

Reflex Hammer Accessory Kit
The Reflex Hammer Accessory Kit converts your Vernier force sensor into a reflex hammer. Use it to capture the strike of the hammer on a tendon. When used with an EKG sensor to record EMGs, students can study reflexes. By comparing the timing of the strike to the timing of the muscle activity, students can calculate the time required for a reflex to occur. The Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor is not included. User Manual - RFX-ACC

Dynamics Cart and Track System with Motion Encoder
The Dynamics Cart and Track System with Motion Encoder is a revolutionary way for physics students to study dynamics. The Motion Encoder adds an optical position sensing system to record cart motion and eliminates the need for a motion detector for cart-on-track activities. Capture accurate, repeatable motion data with the Motion Encoder Cart and Receiver for sperior cart-on-track experiments. The Motion Encoder Cart replaces the ultrasonic Motion Detector when used for dynamics carton-on-track activities. The Dynamics Cart and Track System with Motion Encoder allows students to explore kinematics, dynamics, momentum, and energy with the ease and precision of optical motion sensing. The Motion Encoder is an optical position sensing system that records cart motion and eliminates the need for a motion detector for cart-on-track activities. In addition to a Motion Encoder Cart and Receiver, this system includes an aluminum track, a low-friction plastic plunger cart, an ultra pulley, and all of the necessary attachment accessories. The Dynamics Cart and Track System with Motin Encoder includes: Combination 1.2 m Track/Optics Bench Motion Encoder Cart with magnetic and hook-and-pile end caps Motion Encoder Receiver 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 Adjustable End Stop 2 Adjustable Two-Foot Levelers Motion Detector Bracket Motion Detector Reflector Flag Rod Clamp 2 Photogate Brackets Ultra Pulley Pulley Bracket 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. &am   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.

Physics Explorations and Projects
This book contains over 30 guided-inquiry-based investigations for physics students to explore and analyze key physics concepts included in NGSS. Description Physics Explorations and Projects is a collection of laboratory investigations aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Most included investigations set up a situation for students to explore and analyze with some guidance from the instructor—a guided-inquiry format that is very different from traditional laboratory experiments that provide step-by-step instructions. The activities are editable and appropriate for high school students from 9th grade to AP Physics. Sample results are included with the extensive instructor information. Due to the nature of these activities, minimal instruction is provided for software use and data analysis. Instructor experience with Vernier sensors and software is recommended.
