Use the Dual-Range Force Sensor in a wide variety of experiments, including the study of friction, simple harmonic motion, impact in collisions, or centripetal force. The Dual-Range Force Sensor is a general-purpose sensor for measuring pushing and pulling forces. Two ranges allow you to measure forces as small as 0.01 newtons and as large as 50 newtons. It can be used in a broad range of ways: As a replacement for a hand-held spring scale Mounted horizontally on a dynamics cart to study collisions Mounted on a ring-stand to measure forces in a vertical direction Collect data from two Force Sensors simultaneously to study Newton’s Third Law ± 10 N Range Resolution: 0.01 N ± 50 N Range Resolution: 0.05 N user manual

The Dynamics Cart and Track System with Motion Encoder is a revolutionary way for physics students to study dynamics.

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

After working hard to make our dynamics carts very low friction, we’ve added some friction back. Now you and your students can study friction in a controlled way. Add a Friction Pad DTS to your Vernier 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. Friction Pad DTS is not compatible with older metal dynamics carts.

These four 125 gram masses are used to add mass to a cart for dynamics experiments. Compatible only with plastic Vernier carts.

The Cart Picket Fence is a small plastic strip for doing photogate motion timing with dynamics carts. When the Cart Picket Fence passes through a photogate, the cart’s velocity and acceleration as a function of time can be accurately measured.

Ajoutez ce ventilateur modulaire au Dynamics Cart and Track System et au Go Direct® Sensor Cart pour fournir une force constante pour les expériences cinématiques et dynamiques. L'utilisation d'un ou de plusieurs ventilateurs sur un même chariot permet aux élèves d'étudier des expériences de cinématique et de dynamique avec accélération constante, masse variable, angle de poussée variable, poussée variable et durée variable en appuyant sur un bouton.

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 Motion Encoder Cart Upgrade Kit is for users of the Vernier Dynamics Cart and Track System (DTS) who want to add Motion Encoder capability. The kit allows the user to upgrade one existing cart to a Motion Encoder Cart and includes the Motion Encoder Receiver (MEC-BTD) and a Motion Encoder Long Track Strip (METS-LONG). One-time assembly requires removing a cart end cap, installing a transmitter unit underneath the cart, and installing a replacement end cap. Compatible with Vernier Dynamics Cart and Track System only. The Motion Encoder Long Track Strip can be trimmed to fit the 1.2 m dynamics track. Position resolution:1 mm Maximum useful data rate:30 Hz Included:Motion Encoder Transmitter PartsMotion Encoder ReceiverMotion Encoder Long Track StripAllen wrenchUser manual The Motion Encoder Transmitter requires two AAA batteries (not included).

The Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor couples a 3-axis accelerometer with a stable and accurate force sensor that measures forces as small as ±0.1 N and up to ±50 N. Measure pushes and pulls in the classroom or outdoors. It directly connects wirelessly via Bluetooth® or wired via USB to your platform. The Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensor includes a force sensor, 3-axis accelerometer, and 3-axis gyroscope. Take it on a roller coaster, swing, or slide. Suspend several Go Direct Force and Acceleration Sensors from the ceiling to perform a 3-D vector force experiment, or attach a string to the hook and whirl it in a horizontal or vertical circle. In wireless mode, your imagination is the only limiting factor! Go Direct Force and Acceleration can be used in a variety of experiments: Investigate Newton’s Third Law by connecting the hooks of two force sensors with a rubber band. Use the force sensor to pull an object across a surface to measure frictional forces. Attach the force sensor to the Centripetal Force Apparatus to measure centripetal force and acceleration simultaneously. Place sensors on Dynamics Carts to investigate forces and accelerations in collisions.

These low-friction carts are designed to study motion and collisions on the Vernier Dynamics Track. The Plunger Cart has a spring-loaded plunger for collisions, including superelastic collisions. A top tray has inserts for attaching the Dual-Range Force Sensor, Low-g Accelerometer, and Wireless Dynamics Sensor System. Removable inserts allow rapid configuration of magnets or hook-and-pile tabs for collision study. Vernier carts are also compatible with other common carts and tracks. What’s Included Plunger cart Mounting hardware for force sensor and accelerometer Magnetic and hook-and-pile end caps

Eddy current brakes are used as a braking system for high speed trains and roller coasters. Recreate this unusual braking system in your classroom or laboratory by installing our Eddy Current Brake into the end cap of a Go Direct Sensor Cart, Motion Encoder Cart, Standard Cart, or Plunger Cart. As the cart moves over the track, the magnets in the Eddy Current Brake create an electromagnetic drag on the cart that is proportional to the cart’s speed.  The Eddy Current Brake can be used in a variety of experiments:  Investigate the relationship between induced drag and the number of magnets and their position in the brake. Compare the braking force created by the brake to that of our Friction Pad. Note: The Eddy Current Brake is not compatible with our older metal dynamics carts that were part of the Vernier Dynamics Systems sold from 2005–2012.
