Air track
An air track with a low-friction cart for precise experiments on dynamics and conservation laws: eight experiments on mechanics with almost no friction.
A dynamic track on an air cushion allows students to study movement with virtually no friction: the pump creates an air gap under the low-friction cart. The set of 34 items includes a guide with supports, a cart, a pump, a set of replaceable stops for elastic and inelastic collisions (spring, elastic band, hook, plasticine and others), photogate mounts and connecting wires. Eight experiments are performed on the track: measuring speed and acceleration, checking Newton’s second law, the law of conservation of momentum during collisions and separation of carts, the law of conservation of mechanical energy, oscillations of a spring oscillator. The kit is intended for demonstrations and research on mechanics in a physics course.
