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.   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. &am

Using Go Direct Photogate, students are able to easily and accurately measure velocity and acceleration to study the movement of an object in free fall, rolling objects, collisions, and pendulums, without needing to know anything about the geometry of the object. Go Direct Photogate also includes a single laser gate for use with objects passing outside of the arms of the sensor. Using the laser gate requires a visible-light pen laser (not included). Go Direct Photogate can be used in a variety of experiments: Measuring acceleration of a cart on an incline using a cart picket fence Measuring the angular motion of a wheel as it is turning Investigating Newton’s second law using a half-Atwood machine to measure acceleration Determining the time an object passes one or more gates Wired or Wireless—The Flexibility to ChooseOur Go Direct sensors connect directly to your mobile device, Chromebook™, or computer using our free Graphical Analysis™ 4 app—no additional equipment or software purchases are necessary. Go Direct sensors can be used wired via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth® wireless technology, allowing you to choose the solution best for your classroom or laboratory. Rechargeable Battery—Ready When You AreThe robust rechargeable battery offers long battery life and provides always-ready operation when using the sensor wirelessly. Monitor battery life directly from our free Graphical Analysis™ 4 app or LabQuest 2 App. Should the battery run low, simply connect the sensor to the charging cable and keep on collecting—no interruptions or inconvenience to you or your students. Specifications Infrared source: Peak at 880 nm Gate width: 77.5 mm Internal gate separation: 20 mm Distance from internal gates to bottom of photogate arms: ~10 mm Distance from internal gates to sides of photogate arms: ~5 mm Gate LED indicators: Off for unblocked gate, on for blocked gate Battery: 300 mAh Li-Poly Rechargeable Battery life (single full charge): ~10 hours continuous data collection Battery life (long term): ~300 full charge cycles (several years depending on usage) Connections Wireless: Bluetooth Wired: USB

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.

Description Monitor angular motion easily and precisely with the Go Direct Rotary Motion Sensor, which connects wirelessly via Bluetooth® or wired via USB to your device. The wireless connection eliminates the cables that can get caught and tangled during rotational investigations.  Determine position, velocity, and acceleration of objects in angular motion. Measure angle increments as small as 0.25°. Investigate rotational dynamics, conservation of angular momentum, pendulum motion, polarization of light, and more.
