Car & Ramp

The Car & Ramp is the best starting point for teaching and learning the concepts of forces and motion. Used with the Timer II and Photogates, this equipment module engages your students in accurate and repeatable experiments as they investigate Newton's Laws, speed, acceleration, friction, and simple machines. Your students apply algebra to the "real world" while using it to express their discoveries. The hardwood ramp is 48" long and has a pulley mounted on one end for added versatility. The car has all-metal, low friction ball bearing wheels, eyelets for attaching strings or force scales, and a threaded center post for securing weights.

  • Provides years of dependable classroom service
  • Unprecedented variable control ensures repeatability
  • Precision graphics for exact photogate placement and distance measurement
  • Non-intimidating design is easy to set up and fun for your students to use
  • Includes protractor with plumb bob for accurately measuring angle of incline
