Function and Applications
The Cobra DigiCart Basic Set is a portable physics laboratory for carrying out 12 experiments on various topics in dynamics. The set includes two measuring carts, a track and basic accessories. Each measuring cart is equipped with three integrated sensors. The measured values are transmitted to end devices via wireless data transmission using the Bluetooth 4 standard. Usable with tablets and desktop PCs in combination with the free DigiCartAPP or the free measureAPP on all common operating systems.
Benefits
The DigiCart is a portable physics laboratory with two measuring carts, a track and basic accessories:
- Minimal preparation time: Digital experiment descriptions are available for all experiments.
- Easy implementation: Using the free DigiCartAPP, experiments can be carried out and evaluated in just a few clicks.
- Flexibility: Connect the measuring cart to the free measureAPP and perform your own experiments.
- Make concepts tangible: Measurable but often invisible physical quantities are visualized in real time.
- Low-friction rollers for unaltered measurements.
Carry out experiments on a wide range of topics in dynamics:
- Kinematics
- Newton’s laws
- Inclined plane
- Momentum and conservation of momentum
- Elastic and inelastic collisions
- Law of conservation of energy
- Electromagnetic damping (eddy current brake)
- Oscillations and resonance
Teach the fundamentals of the following concepts:
- Velocity
- Momentum
- Force
- Acceleration
- Energy
Using the integrated sensors, a wide range of physical quantities can be investigated in real time:
- Force
- Acceleration
- Position
- Velocity
