Investigate Constant Velocity and Acceleration with the Dynamics Track

In this lesson, John demonstrates how to investigate constant velocity and acceleration with the dynamics track.

The dynamics track with ticker timer is designed to measure the speed at which an object moves from point A to B. By making adjustments to the track (like increasing the slope) and using weights, you can draw comparisons in velocity and measure acceleration over a given distance. The kit also includes a spring loaded trolley with plunger which can be used to demonstrate explosion as well as collision.
