Mechanics Learning Activities

Control Your Projectiles!

The Adapter for Pasco cart allows the attachment of a Vernier Dual-Range Force Sensor to a Pasco cart.

Free fall experiments have never been easier!

Accurately measure the velocity of your dynamics cart.

Two products in one.

An extra flow head eliminates the need for equipment downtime while sterilizing an original flow head. The flow head consists of a polycarbonate outer body with a stainless-steel inner mesh.

Study free fall, rolling objects, collisions, and pendulums.

Use the Time of Flight Pad to precisely measure how long a projectile has been in motion. The Time of Flight Pad is used with the Vernier Projectile Launcher and a Vernier interface to determine the launch speed of a projectile, along with the time the projectile is in flight. Time-of-flight measurements allow students to see just how kinematic calculations work in real-world applications. The Time of Flight Pad is electrically like a photogate. When a ball strikes the foam top surface, a circuit is closed.

A fast and effective method to evaluate the strength of trusses.

Nine pulleys and an innovative device combine to create a classroom demonstrations for each topic on pulleys in your curriculum.

This air track provides a frictionless surface that is indispensable for studying the mechanics of linear motion.

Versatile Unit Tests Several Factors of Friction

With custom designed components, this kit covers all the subject areas two or three individual kits usually address.

Teach your students about gear ratios and different gear configurations and how these concepts are used to change the amount of applied force to an object.

A set of dynamic cart trolleys are used for investigation on momentum, velocity and acceleration. Each trolley consists of two rectangular wooden blocks, 300 mm long, moving on three low friction wheels (ball bearings in wheels). The trolley is fitted with spring loaded impulse rod. It has a provision for stacking the trolleys on top of each other with removable pins. It is supplied with two rubber corks and 2 needles, so trolleys may be stuck together for inelastic collisions. A striking pin for releasing the striker and 3 pins or dowels for stacking are provided. One trolley weight approximately 1 kg.

This inclined plane is as straight as an arrow, measures a full 4' long, and will last for years. Is built of nickle-plated heavy steel with rounded corners, and can accomondate just about any kind of cart you choose.
