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.
