Advanced Placement / Physics

Coefficients of Friction

Students use a Smart Cart to determine the static and kinetic friction coefficients between two contacting surfaces.

High School / Physics

Modeling the Force of Friction

Students measure the force of kinetic and static friction between a friction tray and dynamics track using a wireless force sensor. They vary the weight...

Coefficients Of Friction

In this lab, students use a motion sensor and a force sensor to determine the static and kinetic friction coefficients between two contacting surfaces.

College / Physics

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...

College / Physics

Friction and Newton's Laws

Sliding friction is measured by using a photogate to measure the acceleration of a Friction Tray as it is being pulled along a horizontal track by a falling...
