Description
Foundation Physics - Loop Track
Please Note: The Foundation Physics Universal Stand is not included with the Loop Track and will need to be purchased separately using code PP00054183
- The Foundation Physics range centres around the Universal Stand and includes accessories which allow a wide range of experiments to be conducted. Each add-on includes a comprehensive instructional guide with student tasks which are linked to the curriculum.
When used with the Foundation Physics Universal Stand, this Loop Track enables students to investigate how a roller coaster car can stay on the track when it travels in a large, circular loop.
This uses a straight, 80 cm long portion of the track with a marble to investigate acceleration. The circular portion lets students experimentally determine the minimum velocity the marble needs to make one full trip around the loop.
A photogate system (not supplied) can be incorporated to take speed and acceleration measurements.
The Loop Track includes:
- 1 x Loop Track with mounting bolt
- Plastic Marbles (19mm diameter)
- Steel Marbles (19mm diameter)
- Instructions
- Teachers Guide
- Students Guide
Additional apparatus required:
