Low-friction rail

Description:

A moving object is subject to frictional forces that can be reduced but not eliminated. Concepts of kinematics and translational motion can be explored with this low-friction rail.
The following topics can be addressed with this kit for up to 15 guided experiences: Motion, Motion is relative, Reference systems, The quantities defining motion, The trajectory, Displacement, The tools for studying motion, Average velocity, Instantaneous velocity, Average acceleration, Instantaneous acceleration, The various types of motion, Uniform rectilinear motion, Uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion, The principle of inertia, The fundamental law of dynamics, The force of friction.
Inside the kit you will find: 1 Rope, 1 Linear rule, 1 Set of 4 10 g discs with plate, 1 Rail, 1 Trolley, 1 Cylinder with 5 g hook, 1 Cylinder with 8 g hook, 1 Wooden block, 1 Pulley with rod, 2 Photocell holders, 1 Box
