PASCO Dynamics Systems
PASCO Dynamics Track Systems are perfect for investigating a wide range of concepts in physics, including Newton's Laws, collisions, velocity and acceleration. All of the Dynamics Systems have been designed to easily integrate sensors for measuring forces, position, velocity and acceleration. All three systems can also be expanded with the addition of any of the many Dynamics System accessories.
Carts are available in either aluminum (Classic Carts) or polycarbonate plastic (PAScars). Each system below includes two carts.
Tracks are extruded aluminum (available in two lengths: 1.2 meter and 2.2 meter), or the new rigid plastic PAStrack, which comes in sets of 2 sections, each 50 cm long. Both these track types are designed with the built-in T-slots for easy attachment of accessories.
For those on a very tight budget, consider the economy Force & Motion track. Less rigid and without the built-in T-slots, it can still be used with Motion Sensors
Choose the cart and track type that best suits your needs and budget:
Classic Dynamics Systems
Classic Dynamics Systems
These systems have long been the industry standard, having both the high quality aluminum track as well as the rugged Classic PASCO Dynamic carts with all the components needed to get started. Available with a 1.2 m track or a 2.2 m track as well as a Super System with many of the most popular accessories included.
PAScar Dynamics Systems
These systems have the aluminum track and all the basic components included with the Classic Dynamics System, but are more economical because they utilize the polycarbonate plastic PAScar carts rather than the aluminum carts available in the Classic System. This system is available with either a 1.2 m or a 2.2 m track.
PAStrack Dynamics Systems
A lower cost option than the Classic or PAScar systems, the PAStrack system uses PAScar carts and replaces the aluminum track with a rigid plastic PASTrack that measures 1 m long and can accept additional PAStracks to extend it's length.
Force and Motion Track
A low-cost alternative, the Force and Motion Track fits both the Classic Dynamics Carts and the PAScars and allows motion sensors to be clipped on to the end of the track.
