Product Summary
PASCO Dynamics Systems have been a staple in physics labs for over 25 years. They are an ideal way of investigating mechanics - from velocity and acceleration to Newton’s Laws and Forces to Collisions and Conservation of Momentum and Energy.
Numerous optional accessories expand that functionality even further into harmonic motion, projectile motion, optics and more.
Today you have your choice of tracks (expandable and rugged polycarbonate plastic in 1 m lengths or classic aluminum in 1.2 m or 2.2 m lengths) as well as plastic carts, aluminum carts or a pair of the revolutionary new Smart Carts. You can also choose whether or not to add the accessories package.
This configuration - The Basic PAScar/Metal Track 1.2 System is made up of plastic carts and a 1.2 m aluminum track without the accessories package.
What's Included
- 1x 1.2 m Aluminum Dynamics Track (ME-9493)
- 1x PAScar (Set of 2) (ME-6950)
- 1x PAScar Cart Mass (set of 2) (ME-6757A)
- 2x Dynamics Track Feet , Dynamics Track End Stops & Pivot Clamp (ME-8994)

Experiment Library
Perform the following experiments and more with the Basic PAScar Metal Track 1.2 m System.
Visit PASCO's Experiment Library to view more activities.
Inertia and the Second Law
A force is applied directly to the cart by pulling and pushing on the attached Force Sensor. The resulting acceleration is measured by the Motion Sensor, and the analysis of a Force vs. Acceleration graph allows the concept of...
Position and Velocity
In this lab, students will investigate the relationship between position and velocity using a Motion Sensor to measure the position of a motorized cart.
Equations of Motion
In this lab, students will generate graphs of position and velocity for a cart accelerating down an incline. Then, they'll compare their user-defined curve fits to the standard equations of motion.
