Uniformly accelerated motion with an accelerating mass with the demonstration track and the timer 4-4

Principle

If a constant force acts on an object, the object is subject to constant acceleration. The aim of this experiment is to use a uniformly accelerated cart in order to demonstrate that its velocity increases linearly over time and that the dependence of the distance on the time can be described by way of a parabola.

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
