A frictionless system to explore kinematics
 The most fundamental laws of physics states that a moving object will
continue forever at a constant velocity unless it is acted on by an external
force. With our near frictionless linear motion track, this incredible
observation is made easy to understand.
An air track glider provides for highly accurate investigations into the laws
of motion. Students can investigate inelastic collisions, impulse and change in
momentum, conservation of momentum, conservation of energy and more in our 2 m
long track. Because the frictional forces are negligible the data derived will
always be accurate.
