Principle
An object on an inclined track is subject to constant
acceleration in parallel to the track due to the gravitational
forces exerted on the object. The aim of this experiment is to
confirm the laws of motion for a uniformly accelerated motion by
measuring the time that a cart runs on the inclined demonstration
track. In addition, the magnitude of the acceleration due to
gravity can be verified based on Newton's second law.
Benefits
- Accurate results due to measurements with low friciton: cart
with sapphire bearings
- Over the entire track length adjustable feet for a very simple
alignment of the track even on small tables
- Extrem robust accessories, for example no overloading of cars
due to elastic bearing of base plate, prevent unnecessary
breakdowns
- Timer 4-4 can be used for almost every experimental requirement
: distance-time law for four tracks, measurement of speed at four
positions, principles of collisions, measurement of the orbiting
time of a rotary movement, the direct measurement of the duration
of a complete swing of a mechanical pendulum and for short or
long-term measurements with two 8-digit displays by connecting each
of 2 timers
