£136.00 ex VAT | £163.20 Inc VAT Add to basket Use the Dual-Range Force Sensor in a wide variety of experiments including the study of friction, simple harmonic motion, impact in collisions, or centripetal force. The Dual-Range Force Sensor has two ranges: ±10N or ±50N. It can be easily mounted on a Vernier Dynamics Cart for use with the Vernier Dynamics System. Mount one on the New Centripetal Force Apparatus, on a ring stand or even as a replacement for a hand-held spring scale.
Use it to study friction, simple harmonic motion, impact in collisions, or centripetal force.
£170.00 ex VAT | £204.00 Inc VAT Add to basket The Motion Detector uses ultrasound to measure distance. Ultrasonic pulses are emitted by the Motion Detector, reflected from a target and then detected by the device. The time it takes for the reflected pulses to return is used to calculate position, velocity and acceleration. This allows you to study the motion of objects such as a person walking, a ball in free fall or a cart on a ramp.
Please note: This item requires an interface such as a LabQuest or LabQuest Mini to operate. If you need a motion detector that can plug straight into a USB port, then see our Go!Motion motion detector.
