Coefficients of Friction
A motorized cart is used to pull the friction trays in a controlled manner along the track, as a force sensor directly measures the frictional force. All parameters affecting the frictional force are investigated, including material, speed, normal force, and surface area.

Featured Equipment
PASPORT High Resolution Force Sensor
The PASPORT High Resolution Force Sensor is designed to make very high resolution measurements of pulling and pushing forces.
PASPORT Motion Sensor
The PASPORT Motion Sensor accurately measures the position, velocity, and acceleration of a target. It can be used to track the motion of balls, carts, people, and more.
Variable Speed Motorized Cart
Cart has adjustable speed and climbs up a 30 degree slope.
Discover Friction Accessory
Four plastic trays with unique surfaces (cork, felt, and 2 plastic) to use with dynamics carts and sensors.
Support
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
