The Linear Air Track offers a cost-effective solution for exploring various aspects of dynamics, particularly linear motion, in a virtually friction-free environment. This essential teaching aid for physics is ideal for experimental studies in kinematics, covering topics such as velocity, force, acceleration, momentum, potential energy, and kinetic energy. It is especially effective in demonstrating collisions (both elastic and inelastic) and the conservation of momentum and energy. Additionally, it is useful for studying simple harmonic motion and motion on both level and inclined planes.
Linear Air Track System
Caractéristiques principales :
- High-Quality Construction: Made from strong extruded aluminum, the Linear Air Track is lightweight yet durable. It features a perforated rail with a smooth surface and high linearity.
- Air Cushion Technology: The rail has one or two rows of fine holes along its length. Compressed air from an attached air blower creates an air cushion between the track and the gliders, allowing for almost friction-free motion.
- Mesure de précision : The track includes a millimeter-scale for accurate distance measurement and position recording. Light gates and timers provide precise measurements of various kinematic parameters.
- Comprehensive Accessories: Supplied with all necessary accessories, including an air blower and a digital timer, for a complete Linear Air Track system.
Experimental Capabilities:
- Uniform Linear Motion: Determine speed/verify Newton’s first law.
- Variable Speed Linear Motion: Measure average and instantaneous speed.
- Uniform Variable Speed Linear Motion: Calculate acceleration.
- Distance-Time Relationship: Analyze for uniform variable speed linear motion.
- Acceleration of Gravity: Determine experimentally.
- Newton’s Second Law: Verify through experimentation.
