Description
The Smart Cart Friction Brake is designed to bring a moving Smart Cart to a stop at any position on a dynamics track. For example, when using a Curved PAStrack setup, you can apply the friction force on the flat section of track instead of the inclined section. The brake uses the friction between a felt strip on the cart and a rounded thumbscrew on the track to reduce the cart’s velocity.
Features
- Applies a consistent friction force to the Smart Cart
- Adjust the friction force by turning the knob on the Track Bracket
- Two-part design allows you to apply a braking force at a specific position on a track
- The Friction Pad attaches to the Smart Cart accessory tray and the Track Bracket attaches to a dynamics track
Applications
- Measure the coefficient of friction
- Investigate static versus kinetic friction
- Perform the Braking Investigation in OpenSciEd Unit P.3 Lesson 4
What’s Included
- 1x Track Bracket
