Vernier Dynamics System

A dynamics system with the quality and versatility you have come to expect from Vernier. Use the Vernier Dynamics System to improve your kinematics and dynamics experiments. The Dynamics System is ideal for studying Newton’s Second Law, acceleration on an inclined plane, momentum and much more. Vernier sensors such as our redesigned Motion Detector, Dual-Range Force Sensor, Wireless Dynamics Sensor System, Photogate and Accelerometer easily attach to the Dynamics System. Make the most of your track by adding the Vernier Optics Expansion Kit for studying optics. You can even couple two tracks.

Vernier Dynamics Carts

• Perfect for kinematics and dynamics experiments.
• Easily attach a Dual Range Force Sensor or Wireless Dynamics Sensor System.
• Use with our Motion Detector.
• Roll the cart down a ramp to study constant acceleration.
• Use two carts to study momentum conservation.
• With extremely low friction due to sealed bearings and machined wheels, this superior cart gives very high quality data.
• Interchangeable magnetic and VELCRO® end caps make it possible to do many experiments.
• The Plunger Cart has a spring-loaded plunger for consistent collisions, while the Standard Cart is similar but has no plunger.
• Vernier carts are compatible with other common carts and tracks.

Vernier Dynamics System includes:

• Standard Cart with Magnetic and VELCRO® End Caps
• Plunger Cart with Magnetic and VELCRO® End Caps
• Mass - 500 g
• Combination 1.2 m Dynamics Track / Optics Bench
• Adjustable Levelling Feet
• Adjustable End Stop
• Single Foot End Stop
• Motion Detector Bracket
• 2 Photogate Brackets
• Rod Clamp

Experiments for Cart and Track

• Measuring g on an Incline
• Newton’s Second Law
• Momentum, Energy and Collisions
• Impulse and Momentum

These experiments can be found in our lab book, Physics with Computers.

Combination Dynamics Track/ Optics Bench

The Combination Dynamics Track and Optical Bench is black anodised aluminium, and includes a metric scale on both sides. Extremely rigid, this 1.2 meter track will not sag under use. A collection of stops, feet, and brackets to hold Photogates and the Vernier Motion Detector complete the kit.

Optics Expansion Kit

The Vernier Optics Expansion Kit adds optics experiments to the Vernier Dynamics System. The kit includes two lenses and adjustable lens holders, a screen and holder, a luminous light source, and a point light source. Contact us for pricing and details.
