P23 – 002 Linear air track system
-
Description
A frictionless system to explore kinematics.
The most fundamental law of physics states
that a moving object will continue forever at
a constant velocity unless it is acted on by an
external force.
Specifications:
Size: 205x18x36 cm
Weight: 16 kg
EXAMPLE OF USE
Newton’s Laws
The best way to verify the Newton’s Laws is to
study an ideal rectilinear motion using Altay’s
Linear Air Track System.
Students can demonstrate precise accelerated
motion in a frictionless system.
For example, it is possible to attach a mass to
one of the gliders via a pulley, and observe its
accelerated motion, while a position sensor
detects the characteristic parabolic trend in
time.
