The Smart Cart is the ultimate tool for studying kinematics, dynamics, Newton’s Laws and more. It is based on a durable ABS body with nearly frictionless wheels just like our high quality PAScars. But now we’ve added built-in sensors that measure force, position, velocity, and 6 degrees of freedom in acceleration. And the Smart Cart can make these measurements on or off a dynamics track and transmit the data wirelessly over Bluetooth®. In essence it is a wireless dynamics cart that combines all the necessary sensors and doesn’t require any additional hardware.
Smart Carts are ideal for studying mechanics (both kinematics and dynamics) and more. For instance, the built-in load cells make a pair of Smart Carts an easy way to visually demonstrate Newton’s 3rd Law. And with measurements of both Force and Acceleration, Newton’s 2nd Law can be investigated in minutes with no other equipment required. Smart Carts truly are a physics lab on wheels.
The most advanced physics cart ever created and all without the hassle and restrictions of cables.
