Fence and Picket Accessories for Dynamic Cart
Model Number: MTM-75
The Fence and Picket Accessories for Dynamic Cart from Micro Technologies are designed to fit compatible dynamic carts for precise motion measurement using a photogate system. The set includes four picket fences, each fitted with a 4 mm plug for convenient attachment to the cart. These accessories support accurate investigations of velocity, acceleration and other dynamics parameters when used with a compatible photogate system.
Product Specification
The Fence and Picket Accessories for Dynamic Cart from Micro Technologies are specialized mechanics laboratory accessories designed to expand the measurement capabilities of compatible dynamic carts.
The accessories allow dynamic carts to be used effectively with a photogate-based timing and motion measurement system.
The set consists of four picket fences, providing multiple accessories for different experimental arrangements or repeated laboratory use.
Each picket fence is fitted with a 4 mm plug, designed for convenient attachment to a compatible dynamic cart.
Once installed on the cart, the picket fence moves together with the trolley as it passes through the beam of a photogate.
The alternating opaque and open sections of the picket fence interrupt the photogate beam at known intervals.
By recording the timing of these interruptions, a compatible photogate system can be used to determine important motion parameters.
For example, velocity can be determined from:
v = d / t
where:
v = Velocity
d = Known Distance
t = Measured Time
Because multiple sections of the picket fence pass through the photogate sequentially, several timing measurements can be obtained during a single cart movement.
This enables students to investigate whether the cart is moving at constant velocity or undergoing acceleration.
Acceleration can be expressed as:
a = Δv / Δt
where:
a = Acceleration
Δv = Change in Velocity
Δt = Change in Time
When used with compatible dynamic carts and a suitable photogate system, these accessories can therefore support quantitative experiments involving velocity, acceleration, linear motion and dynamics.
The picket fence arrangement can be particularly useful for reducing dependence on manual stopwatch measurements.
Electronic photogate timing generally provides more precise time measurements for short-duration motion experiments.
Students can use the accessories in experiments involving uniform motion, accelerated motion, Newton's laws, inclined-plane motion and cart dynamics, depending on the complete laboratory setup.
For example, a dynamic cart fitted with a picket fence can be allowed to move along a level track while its velocity is measured.
The cart may also be accelerated by a hanging mass, elastic cord or inclined surface, while the photogate and picket fence provide motion data.
This enables students to connect theoretical mechanics equations with experimentally measured values.
The 4 mm plug attachment makes the accessories convenient to install on compatible cart systems and remove when they are not required.
The set is intended as an accessory for dynamic carts rather than as a complete standalone experiment.
A compatible dynamic cart and suitable photogate/timing system are therefore required for photogate-based measurements.
Manufactured and supplied by Micro Technologies, the Fence and Picket Accessories for Dynamic Cart provide a practical solution for laboratories requiring improved motion measurement capabilities for dynamics experiments.

FAQs
What are Fence and Picket Accessories for Dynamic Cart used for?
They are used with compatible dynamic carts and photogate systems for precise measurements of velocity, acceleration and motion.
How many picket fences are included?
The set includes four picket fences.
What type of connection is provided?
Each picket fence is fitted with a 4 mm plug for attachment to a compatible dynamic cart.
How does a picket fence work with a photogate?
As the picket fence passes through the photogate, its alternating sections interrupt the light beam. The timing system records these interruptions and uses them for motion measurements.
Can velocity be measured using these accessories?
Yes. When used with a compatible photogate system, the picket fences can support accurate velocity measurements.
Can acceleration also be determined?
Yes. Multiple velocity measurements obtained over time can be used to calculate acceleration.
Are these accessories suitable for Newton's laws experiments?
Yes. They can support quantitative experiments involving force, mass, velocity and acceleration.
Is the Dynamic Cart included?
No. These are separate accessories designed for compatible Dynamic Carts.
Is a photogate included?
No. A compatible photogate and timing system are required separately for electronic motion measurements.
Can the accessories be removed from the cart?
Yes. The 4 mm plug arrangement is designed to allow convenient attachment and removal from compatible carts.
