P2130305 – Newton’s Second Law with Low-Friction Track
Reference
- P2130305 : Newton’s Second Law with Low-Friction Track
Principle
The distance-time law, the velocity-time law, and the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force are investigated using a demonstration track designed to study uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion.
Advantages
- High-precision results thanks to measurements performed under very low friction conditions, ensured by a cart equipped with sapphire bearings.
- Adjustable feet along the entire length of the track, allowing easy and precise alignment, even on small laboratory tables.
- Highly robust accessories, designed to prevent overloading of the cart through an elastic bearing system on the base plate, thereby reducing unnecessary failures.
- Detailed, illustrated step-by-step manual for easy implementation of experiments.
- The 4-4 timer provides great versatility and can be used for a wide range of experimental applications, including:
- distance-time law measurements at four distances,
- velocity measurements at four positions,
- collision principles,
- measurement of rotational motion period,
- direct measurement of the duration of a full oscillation of a mechanical pendulum,
- short- and long-term measurements using two 8-digit displays by connecting two timers.
Tasks
The experiments allow determination of:
- distance traveled as a function of time,
- velocity as a function of time,
- acceleration as a function of the accelerated mass,
- acceleration as a function of applied force.
Educational Objectives
- Understanding velocity,
- Studying acceleration,
- Analyzing force and its effects,
- Exploring gravitational acceleration.
